&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mark LaLiberte&lt;/strong&gt; is a veteran of the building industry with over 30 years of experience. As co-founder and partner at &lt;strong data-end="201" data-start="168"&gt;Construction Instruction (Ci)&lt;/strong&gt;, he is a recognized leader in building science education. He has educated thousands through lectures, on-site support, the &lt;em data-end="348" data-start="325"&gt;Building Better Homes&lt;/em&gt; video series, and a top-ranked mobile app developed by his Ci team.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-end="802" data-start="418"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;He earned a &lt;strong data-end="470" data-start="430"&gt;Lifetime Achievement Award from EEBA&lt;/strong&gt; for his &lt;em data-end="497" data-start="479"&gt;Houses that Work&lt;/em&gt; lecture series, which has been delivered across hundreds of North American cities for over 16 years. His leadership roles include serving as &lt;strong data-end="668" data-start="639"&gt;Building Science Co-Chair&lt;/strong&gt; for Hanley Wood&amp;rsquo;s &lt;em data-end="708" data-start="687"&gt;Vision 2020 Project&lt;/em&gt; and over a decade of board service to the &lt;strong data-end="791" data-start="751"&gt;Cold Climate Housing Research Center&lt;/strong&gt; in Alaska.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-end="1095" data-start="804"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;Mark has collaborated with manufacturers to innovate energy-efficient building products and co-created Ci&amp;rsquo;s &lt;strong data-end="932" data-start="912"&gt;animation studio&lt;/strong&gt;, producing state-of-the-art educational tools. He also helped design training for Habitat for Humanity&amp;rsquo;s 2012 &lt;em data-end="1065" data-start="1043"&gt;Repair Corps Project&lt;/em&gt; supporting veterans&amp;#39; housing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-end="1381" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="" data-start="1097"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;His work centers on building &lt;strong data-end="1163" data-start="1126"&gt;healthy, durable, efficient homes&lt;/strong&gt;, benefiting homeowners, professionals, and the environment. At Ci Live in Denver, he leads immersive training that combines classrooms, wall mock-ups, and lab work to teach best practices in complete building systems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
