ZONING

One sensor per zone. Never per square meter.

Each monitored zone gets its own sensor — one classroom, one meeting room, one function hall. This is how UAE regulations and HVAC engineering actually work.

FAQ

Answers, straight.

Is indoor air quality monitoring mandatory in the UAE?

Yes. Federal Law No. 5 of 2025 on Public Health (Article 33) requires mandatory IAQ monitoring for all public buildings — offices, schools, hospitals, hotels, malls and government buildings. Dubai Municipality enforces this through DM-HSD-GU119 with fines from AED 10,000 to 100,000+. Abu Dhabi has already deployed 330+ IAQ sensors through the HawAQM program.

How much does a lab IAQ audit cost in Dubai?

A one-time IAQ audit by a DM-accredited laboratory (SGS, URS Labs, RTLab, The Healthy Home) costs AED 3,000–8,000 per location. That gives you exactly one day of data. WOLKIS provides 365 days of continuous monitoring for AED 1,200 / month — more data, lower cost per day.

What is Building Health Score?

Building Health Score (BHS) is a composite index from 0 to 100 that combines all IAQ parameters, compliance status, sensor uptime and historical trends. It's unique to WOLKIS — no competitor in the UAE offers it. Use it to track improvements, compare buildings in a portfolio and demonstrate health commitment to tenants.

How many sensors do I need?

One sensor per zone — not per square meter. A "zone" is a space with its own HVAC supply or served by the same air-handling branch: one classroom, one meeting room, one function hall, one consult room. The base plan covers up to 5 zones. Examples: small clinic (3 consult + waiting = 4 zones) fits the base plan; mid-size office (5 meeting rooms + open space + lobby = 7 zones) = 1,500 AED/mo; private school ≈ 5,400 AED/mo. We confirm exact zoning during the free site audit — often fewer sensors than you'd expect.

Why per zone and not per square meter?

Because IAQ varies by what's happening in a space, not its size. A 20 m² classroom with 25 students has radically different CO₂ than an empty 200 m² warehouse. DM-HSD-GU119 and ASHRAE 62.1 both specify compliance per ventilation zone, not floor area. Per-zone pricing aligns our sensors with how regulators actually audit you.

Can WOLKIS replace my annual IAQ audit?

WOLKIS provides continuous monitoring data that supplements or replaces annual audits. Many DM inspectors accept continuous monitoring in lieu of lab tests — it's more comprehensive evidence. Our reports are generated in DM-HSD-GU119 format and include the full audit archive for 3 years.

Does WOLKIS cover Abu Dhabi and other emirates?

Yes. IAQ monitoring is required by Federal Law 5/2025 across all seven emirates. Abu Dhabi (ADPHC HawAQM programme) is actively deploying IoT sensors. Our reports cover DM, ADPHC, ADAFSA and federal requirements.
