Just getting into this field- any advice

[HVACctrl]

I'm switching over to this field from HVAC. I am an ME with mostly manufacturing, installation and controls experience- mostly all HVAC. I did work a little in controls and instrumentation for offshore vessels and cranes in the past, though.

I'll be working to design and modify smaller-sized off and on-shore facilities, etc... in a design-build scenario for exploration companies.

Just looking to see if there are any recommendations- books, trade organizations, web sites, etc... that any of you might recommend.

Thanks for the help!

Outer Banks of North Carolina. I see Seismic companies dont require relocating. well most? Anyways.... I was in the Submarine Service and have an electronics background. Because of that, is how I got into HVAC. There is no technology here.... mostly resort area, so I had to get into what ever would pay the bills. At least there is trouble shooting involved in the service end of HVAC (been in the HVAC biz 3 1/2 years).
So any light you can shed...... would be apprciated.
