The Columbus Series begins here.

Clear Haze Exchange launches a special series highlighting sustainability and built environment professionals from Columbus, Ohio—the hometown of the podcast. These conversations explore the local expertise helping influence national discussions around energy, healthy buildings, resilience, and sustainable development.

Episode #31 features Jeremy Miller, Founder of GeoAlchemy Studio, whose work challenges us to rethink the relationship between architecture and human health.

Jeremy shares how a personal health journey inspired a new way of thinking about the built environment—one that prioritizes human wellness alongside energy performance.

In this episode:

• Why healthy buildings go beyond energy efficiency
 • Passive House principles and indoor environmental quality
 • Building materials that support long-term wellness
 • Air quality, mold, and healthy home design
 • Codex Homes and the future of healthy architecture

As organizations continue investing in sustainability, this conversation reminds us that building performance isn't only measured in energy use, it can also be measured by the well-being of the people inside.
