Resources for learning design of mechanical systems (HVAC)

Hi /r/MechanicalEngineering,

I'm looking for advice and recommendations on how to go about learning the basics (and possibly more) of the design of mechanical HVAC systems.

I worked for 2 years at an Arch/Engineering firm as an intern and learned a ton! But as an intern, I did little to no actual design work. I did a lot more BIM work in CAD/Revit.

Since then, for just over the last year, I've been working as an MEP estimator for a construction management company. Again, I've learned a ton! Not just about the construction process and value analysis, but also about both the mechanical and electrical systems through handling a ton of different projects.

I'm now a year away from getting my PE license and I've been thinking about trying to get into design. My concern is that, looking for design work as a PE, I'm afraid I'm almost misleading potential employers since, in reality, I've done little to no design work. And also I just want to be of some use immediately after being hired. So what are some ways I can go about learning design?
