Mark Ranson is a Building Science and Renovation Consultant. Mark has over 40 years’ experience in the construction, renovation and energy efficiency fields, and has both designed, and delivered training in these fields.
Starting in 1981, Mark was the co-owner of a successful contracting company whose projects include everything from changing a 90-year-old house into three luxury condominiums, to turning a 1000 sq. ft. bungalow, into a 2500 sq. ft., two story home. Mark has also supervised the construction of a 20,000 Sq./Ft Energy Efficient hospital in Swan River and a personal care Home in Benito, Mb.
Throughout his career, he has gained extensive experience working with the latest materials and technology. One project that Mark was responsible for was the ground breaking construction of a new home in Winnipeg, that demonstrated the ultimate in energy efficiency. This home far exceeded R2000 standards. Of high concern during construction was the use of all environmentally safe materials that used the least amount of embodied energy, and did not off gas Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). This intense attention to detail makes this home the apex to which all environmentally friendly homes should aspire to.
