As a member of the NatHERS Technical Advisory Committee and the ABCB’s Condensation technical working group, his research provides input for the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme, CHENATH, the AccuRate building simulation programs and the condensation requirements within the national building regulations. Mark has undertaken contract research for a broad range of industry and government partners including the CSIRO, State and Federal government agencies.

His early industry based training was with a national retailer and included retail store planning and design, and merchandising methods for the refurbishment of existing and establishment of traditional and new concept businesses. A career change to the public sector lead to roles as Properties Officer and Senior Properties Manager within the education sector, which included office block refurbishments, assisting in departmental planning and the responsibility for all refurbishment, new works and master planning for eleven TAFE colleges.
