Five Employees of Israel Berger & Associates LLC Are Now LEED Accredited Professionals

Israel Berger, AIA, president and chief executive officer of Israel Berger & Associates, LLC (IBA), announced that Giulia Alimonti RA, Ed Madocks RA, Dumas Martinez and Farhan Mudasir have passed the LEED v. 2 exam. Additionally, IBA has hired Jennifer Sze, who joins the firm with a previously earned LEED AP credential.

"We are dedicated to the continued development of our credentials in sustainable design, and will pursue the integrating of its practice at all of our departments" says Berger. "Sustainable design goes hand in hand with good design; the practice of both accomplishes architectural excellence while balancing necessary economic and practical realities of construction and maintenance of buildings."

Alimonti, Madocks and Martinez are all members of the restoration division at IBA. The group's work objective varies greatly, and ranges from conventional fa鏰de repairs or restoration to complete re-building or replacement of the building enclosure.

Mudasir and Sze are both working in the new construction group, and are often involved in construction site inspections as well as in modeling new curtainwall technologies, overseeing mock-ups of full-size exterior units and working with architects and manufacturers on new exterior wall materials and new techniques for glass exteriors.

Sze recently earned a masters degree in design studies from Harvard University Graduate School of Design, with a concentration in sustainable design. She received her bachelor of architecture from the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture at Cooper Union.
