For Sustainability Leaders
Reduce HVAC emissions by up to 46%. No capital required.
Ventilation drives 30–40% of HVAC energy in large commercial buildings — and most of it is waste. We measure it, optimize it, and verify the results. Performance-based, no upfront cost.
The sustainability problem
HVAC is your biggest
controllable emissions lever.
For large commercial properties, HVAC is often the largest driver of energy use and operational emissions. Ventilation settings and schedules frequently drift into conservative defaults over time — creating unnecessary outdoor air loads, higher carbon emissions, with no occupant benefit.
A practical decarbonization lever
Optimize ventilation, reduce emissions.
- →Find and quantify over-ventilation — your biggest controllable HVAC lever
- →Implement low-lift operational changes that reduce energy and Scope 1/2 emissions
- →Verify outcomes independently using the global standard for energy savings measurement
- →Deliver reporting that supports GRESB, ESG filings, and leadership updates
Why this is different
Many "efficiency" programs rely on modeled savings or capex-heavy upgrades. Poppy measures real ventilation performance in your occupied building, recommends changes your operations team can implement, and validates the impact over time.
- ✓No new controls platform required to start
- ✓No building-wide sensor rollout
- ✓Designed around operator reality and tenant comfort
- ✓Measured in the real building — not modelled
Portfolio-friendly
Start with one building, then scale.
A structured rollout that builds internal confidence before scaling across the portfolio.
Select candidate buildings
We help prioritize buildings where ventilation waste is most likely — size, schedules, outdoor air load, usage patterns.
Starting point
Typically 1–3 pilot buildings
Baseline + opportunity assessment
We run on-site testing and develop an action plan that translates directly into operational settings.
Deliverable
Quantified energy savings opportunity per building
Implement and verify
Your team approves changes. We track results with reporting suitable for leadership and ESG.
Reporting
ESG-ready documentation and portfolio rollups
Keep performance from drifting
As occupancy, tenants, or systems change, we re-tune so savings and emissions reductions persist.
Ongoing
Continuous monitoring + annual re-verification
Reporting built for ESG stakeholders
Proof you can share with leadership.
Sustainability leaders need outcomes that hold up across finance, operations, and external stakeholders. We provide a clear view of impact without requiring everyone to become HVAC experts.
- ✓Baseline vs. post-optimization performance, normalized where appropriate
- ✓Portfolio rollups for internal ESG reporting
- ✓Documentation that supports internal governance and audit readiness
- ✓ASHRAE 62.1 alignment as a practical baseline
- ✓Supports GRESB submissions, LEED/WELL/BREEAM narratives, and operational carbon reporting
The questions you'll get internally
Every kilowatt of energy savings is verified using the same methodology accepted by GRESB, WELL, and institutional energy investors.
Testing and implementation are designed around schedules, access constraints, and comfort priorities.
We're not replacing your BAS or existing analytics tools. We focus on ventilation optimization with proof, and can coexist with other systems.
Our model is designed to minimize upfront investment for qualifying buildings and focus on verified operational value.
HVAC emissions are fixable. Without a retrofit.
If your portfolio includes large offices, retail, or venues, you're likely over-ventilating today. We'll measure it, show you the opportunity, and verify the results — without compromising tenant comfort.
