Andy Pace is a Healthy Home Concierge and Founder of The Green Design Center, a leading resource for homeowners and contractors looking to source products that are healthy and green, and receive expert consulting advice on designing and building healthy green homes. We finished Episode 334 with me asking Andy for his main suggestions on the most impactful decisions and choices for a healthy home when building new.  Andy has loads of experience in helping homeowners do this in their own projects. And, he’s soon to be building his own new home, so that’s given him lots of opportunities to test this personally as well. That’s where this conversation kicks off, and then we talk a lot about reducing toxic emissions in your home, what to target to improve indoor air quality, and how to support your health and well-being - and that of your family as well - when making selections in your design and construction process for your project. And lastly, Andy shares how he audits and reviews materials and products to avoid the greenwashing in the industry, and ensure his selections and the products he stocks at The Green Design Center actually perform to their promises!
