    BUILDING ENVELOPE • SUSTAINABILITY CONSULTING • MONITORING 40 Bond Street InterActiveCorp (IAC) Headquarters 841 Broadway New York, NY New York, NY New York, NY Hearst Tower World Trade Centers 1-4, 7 Bank of America at New York, NY 9/11 Memorial and Museum One Bryant Park New York, NY New York, NY FIRM INTRODUCTION Vidaris, Inc. is a consulting firm specializing in building envelope, sustainability and energy efficiency. The company was created by combining the legacy firms of Israel Berger and Associates, LLC (IBA) and Viridian Energy & Environmental, LLC. Formed in 1994, IBA established an exterior wall consulting practice providing niche services to real estate owners, owner representatives and architects. Services were provided for new construction as well as investigation, repositioning, repair, and restoration of existing buildings. Later expansion included roofing as well as waterproofing consulting, encompassing the entire building envelope. IBA developed into an industry-leading resource. Viridian Energy & Environmental was established in 2006, providing consulting services to assist building owners and managers in energy efficiency, sustainability and LEED certifications. Energy modeling expertise set Viridian apart from other consultants offering more standardized service and support. In 2011, IBA and Viridian Energy & Environmental merged their specialized service offerings to form Vidaris. As building envelope designs and mechanical systems were becoming more complex, the two companies recognized that it was an opportunity, more so a necessity, for them to be able to provide a holistic approach to these closely related disciplines for their clients. Deep technical knowledge, a long proven track record, reputation, and a sophisticated analytical approach would allow Vidaris to provide a level of service second to none.
