A startup co-founded by a Waterloo Engineering alumnus to help make the construction industry greener has raised $2 million in investment in its first year of operation.
Adaptis, which developed artificial intelligence software to increase material recycling and reduce carbon emissions, grew out of research by Dr. Sheida Shahi (PhD ’21) while she was earning her doctorate in civil and environmental engineering.
Sheida Shahi earned a PhD in civil and environmental engineering.
“We think every building out there should be on our platform because building owners should be aware of how they can reuse materials, how they can reduce waste – both when the project is in its initial stage and during its entire life cycle,” said Shahi, co-founder and CEO of the company.
