BREATHESCORE PROFESSIONAL SCAN
High resolution 3D airflow visualization.
Add an airflow visualization study for total visibility to your building airflow, cross flows and leaks. No building size, range, or setup is too complex—just provide the floor plan, and we’ll bring the equipment and do the rest.
BreatheScore Professional Scan - an add-on to the BreatheScore Certification for HVAC AC air flow visuals, measures and 3D view.
​Poppy BreatheScore Professional Scan helps facilities teams and HVAC specialists capture unprecedented spatial information about a/c airflow distribution patterns and aerosol dynamics within rooms, between rooms, and floor-to-floor. Using single molecule barcoded tracers, individual particles are tracked over space and time across indoor spaces and through air systems.
Explore and understand your building's air distribution in detail using Poppy’s 3D views.

What is Poppy?Poppy is an advanced air technology company that specializes in delivering healthy, sustainable buildings. It employs cutting-edge technology to measure and optimize HVAC performance, ensuring that spaces are safe and energy-efficient. Poppy's solutions are designed to reduce operating costs and carbon usage while maintaining high indoor health standards.
-
What problem is Poppy solving?Poppy addresses the significant challenges faced by the commercial real estate market post-pandemic. With reduced occupancies and increased operating costs, there is a critical need for energy-efficient solutions that also ensure safe indoor environments. Poppy’s technology revolutionizes indoor spaces by providing actionable data on ventilation and filtration, helping to reduce energy use significantly while creating healthy buildings.
-
What does Poppy do?Poppy conducts subscription-based testing to enable buildings to reach target airflow levels. This involves moving from above or below target levels to optimal levels, thus saving energy costs and optimizing sustainability. For buildings often below target, such as schools, Poppy's data helps increase clean air to meet health standards.
-
What value does Poppy provide?Poppy helps buildings increase sustainability, reduce carbon usage, and lower operating costs, which is especially crucial for Class A spaces under financial pressure. Poppy’s solutions also ensure that buildings maintain a gold standard for indoor health, providing a balanced approach to both economic and health benefits.
-
How does the Poppy system work?The Poppy system uses a unique technology that releases saline particles into the air, behaving in a similar way to human breath. These particles are measured by high-accuracy, low-cost sensors to assess how they disperse and are cleared from the air. This real-time air tracing technology enables detailed analysis of ventilation and filtration effectiveness, helping optimize HVAC systems for energy and health.
-
Who is Poppy, the company?Founded in 2019, Poppy has rapidly become the market leader in verifying healthy, sustainable buildings. The company has extensive experience across various space types, including offices, schools, healthcare facilities, retail spaces, factories, and government buildings. Poppy’s technology is deployed in 25 cities covering over 45 million square feet of indoor space.
-
What is ASHRAE Standard 241?ASHRAE Standard 241-2023 is a global standard that defines the airflow per person required to maintain healthy buildings. It provides building operators with the guidelines to determine the necessary airflow based on actual occupancy, allowing for adjustments that align with real-world usage rather than fixed standards. Appendix C outlines how particle tracer systems like Poppy's can be used to validate buildings to the standard.
Building or floor level airflow visualization for diagnostics and balancing of high-priority spaces, Poppy's system provides detailed air visualizer with digitalized air flow and distribution tracking. Showing how air particles like exhaled breath, odors, smoke, and contaminates travel, pool, and clear over time.

How we capture unprecedented airflow and aerosol dynamics
Poppy BreatheScore Professional Scan uses a research grade high-density sensor network to provide detailed spatial tracking of how infectious aerosols travel, build up, and clear over time.
Mimicking human breath patterns and height ranges, BreatheScore System nebulizers release tracer particles into the air. These particles travel across rooms, floors, and entire buildings.
BreatheScore Professional Scan measures, monitors, and captures this movement as it reaches a connected network of BreatheScore System testing sensors. There, data is captured, providing insights and measures to quantify how quickly breath expelled from one location is scattered, mixed, dissipated, and cleared (replaced with equivalent clean air).
Your customized report allows you to diagnose and gain pinpoint insights to systemic or new challenge areas. Easily determine where problematic air flow originates from and understand why specific areas have low ventilation.
​
BreatheScore Professional Scan helps to answer why—while BreatheScore Certify allows you to see the where and what.
Insights to increase visibility and efficiency
A particle tracer system using Poppy sensors and nebulizers to reveal clearance rates and in-room & cross-room paths and hotspots.
PHASE 1​:
On-site, real-time sensors
-
Poppy nebulizers release unique, identifiable tracers from multiple locations
-
Poppy sensors collect tracers from all nebulizers
-
Sensor data is sequenced using NGS and machine learning algorithms
-
Data is rendered on 2D Floor plans and data is mapped to your building areas
PHASE 2​:
3D Scanning
-
A high resolution (Matterport) or rapid (Polycam) digital twin is created for each space
-
Data is automatically rendered into a 3D model
-
Findings are presented to customer using 3D modeling visual, heatmap data, and customized action plans
