All we do is optimize ventilation.
Outdoor air is expensive to heat and cool.
Get it right and you get lower energy cost and a healthier building.
After thousands of tests, we revealed that most buildings in specific classes are over-ventilated relative to code (ASHRAE 62.1).
For decades, ventilation has been a guessing game.
Most buildings estimate ventilation instead of measuring it, run conservatively and waste energy.
Poppy provides a modern measurement approach using a technology we introduced to the industry: Real-time Air Tracing.
We baseline test buildings, uncover where they sit relative to code, and quantify the savings opportunities we find.
Air Tracing is fast, on-site testing to measure ventilation.
It tells you how much clean air is coming from outside versus filtration / recirculation.
Our data is the foundation for confident ventilation optimization.
No guessing, no blanket assumptions.
With our Shared Savings Program, we only win when you win.
We start with testing at no risk and no upfront cost to you, and if we find savings we provide the path to realize it.
You only move forward when there’s a significant savings opportunity.
If we don’t find one, you owe nothing.
Poppy provides expert ventilation optimization, not just a number.
Poppy's dashboard provides real-time tracking of your ventilation savings, hour-by-hour and across your portfolio.
As your buildings change, we re-tune so performance doesn’t slip.

Compliance & Fine Reductions
Eliminate Fines for NYC's Local Law 97 and similar programs using ASHRAE 241 & ASHRAE 62.1.
One solution for many needs.
Balancing the invisible.
Very few things are more dynamic than the indoor air we breathe. Each room, even parts of rooms, vary due to occupancy, season, HVAC settings—even the time of day.
-
Some areas are over-ventilated and use more energy than needed to heat, cool and circulate clean air
-
Some areas are under-ventilated and put occupants at risk of getting sick
Balance can be achieved by:
-
Natural or mechanical means (open windows or HVAC settings)
-
Diluting, filtering and purifying the air (especially HEPA & MERV-13)
-
Adjusting how an area is used and by how many (a busy gym vs. quiet office)
​
It's hard to improve what you don't measure, so Poppy accurately measures ventilation performance.

How it works.
​
The world leader in clean airflow monitoring, Poppy's tracer particle system measures all natural and mechanical ventilation-dilution, filtration and purification with one accurate, real-time test.
​
After releasing safe, food-grade tracer particles into the air, Poppy sensors collect millions of data points tracking how particles move and are removed over time. Within minutes, results and recommendations are available in a secure online dashboard.​
​
Poppy system includes:
-
Sensor accuracy with 10% of ISO 21501 calibrated reference particle counters in all size ranges (E1, E2, E3) - mandatory for ASHRAE Standard 241 tests
-
Particle counts within 7 submicron and supramicron size bins ranging from PC0.1 to PC10
-
Food-safe tracer particle (salt & water) diffusion at known sizes
-
3D Digital Twin capture and volumetric measurement using LiDAR
-
Automated machine learning/AI data analysis algorithm and recommendations
-
Secure Online Dashboard & Testing App
-
Building Management and Building Automation System (BMS/BAS) integrations and APIs
What Poppy monitors.
Poppy monitors the broadest range of accurate airflow and air quality measurements in a compact, affordable tracer sensor system.
-
Equivalent Clean Airflow Rate (ECAi, VECAi)
-
Effective Air Change Rate (eACH)
-
Airflow Pathways and Patterns
-
Safe Occupancy Levels
-
Wildfire Smoke Clearance Rate
-
Particle Counts, ultrafine, fine, coarse (PC0.1-PC10)
-
Particle Mass, ultrafine, fine, coarse size (PM0.1-PM10)
Data-Driven Decisions.
​
Poppy's system automatically generates recommendations based on your latest results - either for humans to review, or integrated into your building management system (BMS/BAS) to trigger the best HVAC run-mode automatically.
Accurate, instant data alone doesn't move the needle, so Poppy provides hands-off energy savings. Now that moves the needle.
​
The new standard.
Released in July 2023, ASHRAE, the American Society of Heating Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers released Standard 241, the new indoor air quality standard for control of infectious aerosols in buildings. With testing protocols outlined in Appendix C, Poppy provides the only digital method to test for Standard 241.
