Berard Martel Architecture, Inc., of Bedford, has to keep an eye out for greenwashing when it is choosing products and design techniques to recommend to clients. One of the firm’s partners, Rob Martel, is LEED-certified. Berard Martel worked on the new Sullivan Construction home base in Bedford, which is seeking LEED platinum certification. The Hippo talked with architect Nicolai A. Calabro, AIA, and Elaine Bello, director of interior design, about greenwashing (and a host of other issues in architecture).

Bello started Boston Architectural College’s interior design program and still serves on the faculty after 30 years. BAC offers green design courses and researches experimental procedures, so it’s a great information resource, Bello said. Students there “all seem to be very passionate about green building and green design,” she said.
