ir Show 2015 was a terrific
success! We had more than
One hundred-twenty booths
and over one thousand decisionmaking contractors, technicians,
property managers and architects came
to our show on March 3rd. There were
many new vendors this year, featuring
exciting new products and services.
We also would like to thank Carrier for
sponsoring our Grand Prize of
GeoSpring Hybrid Heat Pump Water
Heater. All of our Vendors for
providing many great prizes that were
given throughout the evening.
The PBACCA AirShow committee established the criteria to win “Best Booth”. PBACCA
board members judged the contest. Uniweld/UEI will receive one free booth in AirShow 2016.
The success of Air Show 2015 is the result of
many individuals who put in countless hours
volunteering their time, energy and ideas.

S e r ves Yo u !
I would like to share a few of my thoughts on the 25th annual
Air Show. It certainly did not disappoint the estimated 1200
attendees. We are very pleased about achieving this near
record attendance level, it was a great night to celebrate the
Air Show's Silver Anniversary.

Everyone seemed to be busy and engaged in conversation
as vendors displayed their many offerings.
We are already seeing an increase in demand for exhibition
space for next year. This is largely because of the growing
number of manufacturers and suppliers that are introducing
new energy efficient equipment, as well as anticipation that
Dale Vernatter
consumers who have put off a purchase due to the
economy, will begin replacing ageing equipment.
In addition to seeing the new products that were on display at every turn, attendees spent
a great deal of time discussing the news that the new Florida Building Code will be released
at the end of March.
This new code will be called "2014 Florida Building Code, 5th Addition" and will take effect
sometime this summer. Recent drafts of the code have gotten a lot of attention from
contractors and suppliers alike.
"Clearly, everyone is hungry for information about what will be in the final draft. We are
trying our best to get everyone up to speed and let them know what their responsibilities
will be", said Daryl Sholar, Senior Building inspector, Village of Wellington.
My May visit with you will deal exclusively with the new codes and how we will be impacted.
Over the next few weeks I will be speaking with many of our local Building Officials and
inspectors and I’ll share their thoughts with you.
This may be our most important visit of the year.
Best Wishes,
Dale Vernatter

A Special Thanks To
Royal Palm Beach HVAC Students
Royal Palm Beach HVAC program instructor Patrick Raney and Ten of his students provided a
tremendous amount of assistance throughout the day at our 25TH Annual Trade Show. With
their support the set up for the show ran efficiently. We need to recognize these young men
and women as our future top professionals in the Air Conditioning Industry.
This is PBACCA'S 15th Year of serving on the Board of the HVAC Program designed to introduce
the students to a career in Air Conditioning. All
of the students are EPA and Ready to work
Certified and will be attending upcoming
courses FACAA has to offer at Palm Beach State
College. Many of them are already working in
our industry and several more are seeking
employment.
Anyone interested to learn more about the
program,

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human
Resources Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "And what starting
salary are you looking for?"
The engineer replies, "In the region of $125,000 a year,
depending on the benefits package."
The interviewer inquires, "Well, what would you say to a
package of five weeks’ vacation, 14 paid holidays, full
medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to
50% of salary, and a company car leased every two ye a r s,
say, a red Corvette?"

The engineer sits up straight and says, "Wow! Are you
kidding?"
The interviewer replies, "Yeah, but you started it."
