Visual 3D Academy is proud to announce the appointment of Todd Kler, Certified Master HVAC/R Educator (CMHE), as its new Manager of Learning and Integration. With more than 25 years of experience in the HVACR industry, Kler brings a powerful combination of technical expertise, instructional leadership, and a deep commitment to workforce development.
Throughout his career, Todd Kler has helped shape the next generation of HVACR professionals, serving as an instructor at both public and private colleges and delivering hands-on, career-focused training. His approach has always centered on real-world application, ensuring students not only understand concepts, but can apply them in the field.
In his new role, Kler will help lead the evolution of a new learning model, one that moves beyond traditional instruction and into immersive, experience-driven education.
Visual 3D Academy is at the forefront of this transformation. As a simulation-based training platform, it uses interactive 3D technology to bring HVACR systems to life. Instead of relying solely on textbooks or limited lab time, learners can now engage directly with equipment in a virtual environment, rotating components, disassembling systems, tracing system flow, and visualizing operation under real conditions.
“This is more than just a new tool, it’s a new way of learning,” said Kler. “We’re giving students the ability to see what’s happening inside the system, to understand how components interact, and to build confidence before they ever step into the field.”
This shift represents a broader movement in technical education, blending digital simulation with hands-on training to create deeper understanding, stronger retention, and better-prepared technicians. Visual 3D Academy supports this model by making high-quality training accessible anytime, anywhere, across multiple devices.
By integrating immersive visualization with proven instructional practices, Visual 3D Academy is helping educators teach more effectively and learners grasp complex concepts faster than ever before.
To help industry stakeholders understand the powerful new tools available to them, Kler will host a weekly webcast, Visualizing HVAC Excellence. This dynamic new webcast is where leading educators take real-world HVACR topics and break them down using immersive 3D visuals. No more guessing what’s happening inside the system. Now, you can watch it unfold.
From airflow to refrigerant flow, electrical diagnostics to system performance, this show is built to bridge the gap between what’s taught and what’s actually happening in the field.
Because today’s HVACR systems aren’t just evolving… they’re transforming. And how we teach them should too.
Todd Kler’s leadership marks a significant step forward in this mission, connecting education, technology, and industry needs to redefine how HVACR is taught and learned.
