I like a good challenge, so deciding to make a bold career change after taking time off to raise my boys certainly fit the bill. It\'s ironic that two experiences related to my previous career led me to what I am doing today. During my first year teaching in Atlanta, I taught in an old classroom that had wall to wall carpeting and no windows. My allergies, which I didn\'t have prior to the job, became so bad that I often had to drive home from work and crawl into bed because I couldn\'t function. Fortunately, the following year I got a new job at a different school and was able to leave that musty, moldy classroom - and my allergies - behind. When my oldest son was in Pre-K, he was sick all the time. A typical cold would turn into severe wheezing and ear infections that lasted for weeks. Before that year, though, he had always been a perfectly healthy child. Guess what? The next year when he wasn’t in that school anymore, he was perfectly healthy again. He wasn’t sick; the school was.Owning Budova has taught me that buildings shouldn\'t make people sick; in fact, there are countless ways to ensure occupants remain both happy and healthy. Making a \"sick\" building healthier isn’t the only problem Budova can solve, however. We can also help you save energy in a variety of ways, which in turn will save you money. No matter what problem you need to solve, whether it’s fixing systems that aren’t running properly or helping your building leave a smaller carbon footprint, Budova Engineering is your solution.
