Why Measure Air flow

Very few things are more dynamic than the indoor air we breathe. Each room, even parts of rooms, vary due to occupancy, season, ventilation settings, and 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

It's hard to improve what you don't measure, so Poppy accurately measures ventilation performance.

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
  • Cigarette Smoke & Vape Events
  • Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) & Air Quality Index (AQI)
  • Temperature & Humidity
  • Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs)
  • Carbon Dioxide (eCO2)
  • Particle counts: ultrafine, fine, and coarse (PC0.1-PC10)
  • Particle Mass, ultrafine, fine, and 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 the testing protocols outlined in Appendix C, Poppy provides the only digital method to test.
