Hello! This is Episode 334, and in it, I’m talking with Andy Pace from the Green Design Center in Wisconsin, USA.

Andy is joining me to talk about his role as a Healthy Home Concierge and Founder of The Green Design Center, and how he helps and works with homeowners in all locations, to not only supply healthy and sustainable building products and materials, but also provide advice through consultancy, on what’s required to achieve a healthy outcome for both existing and new homes.

When Andy reached out to connect and chat about coming on the podcast, I thought it was a really great opportunity to compare notes, and discuss the evolution of green and healthy building practices. 

We’ve both got over 30 years industry experience, but on opposite sides of the globe.

And so, it was brilliant to have this conversation, and discuss the exciting developments we’ve seen in the industry as the demand for healthy homes has grown.

There’s lots of similar challenges and opportunities for those that we each help, and commonality in the comparative experiences that homeowners are having as they make health-based decisions for their projects. Especially when it comes to mould and chemical sensitivities.

I think you’ll find this conversation full of helpful ideas and strategies for your project, wherever you’re located.

One of the things I truly love about this podcast is the pockets of the world that it manages to reach. This podcast is listened to in over 190 countries, and ranks really well in countries such as Canada, the UK, USA, Chile, Brazil, Oman, South Africa and other locations. 

And in looking at the charts this past week, I discovered that the Get it Right with Undercover Architect is in the top 10 of its category in Denmark, and is amazingly, it’s number #2 in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobego, as well as Cambodia, and Number #1 in Mauritius! How awesome is that! 

If you are an overseas listener, I’d love to say ‘hi’ and thank you for tuning into the podcast, and listening to me, an Aussie architect, talk about designing, building and renovating. I love that you’re here and hope, as always, you find this super helpful.

Now, let me take a minute to introduce Andy to you, and our conversation in this episode.
