Being a professor, I always seek out ways to receive more know-how.
I like to broaden my interests and know-how by learning new things.
Working at a college has allowed me to go to events for students and professors to know more about the environment that my buddy and I live in. Every month I attend forums at the college that do allow me to receive more insight. Last year I went to a forum about DIY projects that I could do at home. The projects were easy to implement and fun to do. I had all of the materials that I needed at home. This month I just went to a forum to learn more about HVAC systems. Since a lot of the students around the part rent homes, I wanted to go to learn about the HVAC system in my home. Some things that I learned there was to be more aware about the A/C in my home. I had no idea that the first functional A/C unit was created in 1908 and the credited founder was G.B… Wilson. I also learned that it’s crucial to know the basic functions of how an cooling system works. That there are filters in a A/C unit (one called an air filter) that needs to be replaced every six months or so to maintain great efficiency for an HVAC system. Not to mention the duct system, since it is the main source that carries warm and freezing air throughout a home. If you can learn more about your HVAC system, do so. It can benefit you and your system.
