Poppy Accredited Professional
Program Overview
The Poppy Accredited Professional Program is a comprehensive training and certification program designed to gives engineers the necessary skills to measure ventilation effectiveness across all building types to enhance building health and sustainability.
It covers theoretical foundations, practical applications, and advanced techniques for measuring air delivery rates with emerging particle tracer methods through online learning, hands-on training (done remotely), simulation exercises, and real-world case studies.
The curriculum also addresses relevant and emerging building standards and guidelines such as ASHRAE Standard 241.
