The User Interface (UI) Air Conditioning Training Unit aims to enhance HVAC education through a more interesting, hands-on learning environment. Conventional approaches of teaching commonly depend on textbooks, which may not fully prepare students for practical applications. The research study developed a productive training unit using locally sourced materials like plywood, angle bars, and tubular bars. The prototype is made up of 19 primary parts that shows the refrigeration cycle and system functions, including a compressor, condenser, and LED pressure indicators. A thorough evaluation conduct was used to determine the training unit's functionality, aesthetics, durability, economy, and safety. A user evaluates by 50 evaluations (25 students and 25 professionals) gave an impressive 4.24 rating, showing its effectiveness in enhancing understanding of HVAC systems. An actual components and AI voice assistance were two important parts that made the learning process interesting. Furthermore, the unit offers a secure environment in which learners can enhance their troubleshooting skills without requiring expensive equipment. Some ideas for improvement include better labeling, improved AI integration, and more digital instruments. Overall, the study shows that this training unit bridges the gap between theory and practice, and it is a flexible, long-lasting educational tool with substantial potential for further use in HVAC studies. keywords: user interface, air conditioning, compressor, LED pressure indicator, training unit, AI voice assistance
