WOLKIS Schools Bundle covers Dubai Law 5/2025 indoor air quality (documented indoor-environment obligations) and Vape Guard (privacy-first detection — no cameras, no microphones). Built for KHDA Dubai and ADEK Abu Dhabi inspection regimes. Designed around the academic budget cycle (August-September planning for the upcoming year).
Three lines — then hand this page to your facilities lead.
Two seismic regulatory and behavioral shifts have changed what schools must do, monitor, and document. KHDA inspections and parent expectations have moved with them — fast.
Without consolidation, your Operations team is managing the IAQ vendor, the Vape Guard vendor, the canteen HACCP consultant, and the pool/Legionella contractor — four separate vendor relationships, four audit cycles, four sets of paperwork for one inspection.
Reference configuration: 4,000 m² · 8 IAQ sensors · 6 Vape Guard restrooms · 4 HACCP sensors (canteen) · Pool optional. The bundle is one contract, one invoice, one SLA — and it prices roughly 12-13% below the same modules bought separately (Standard: 8 IAQ zones + 6 restrooms would be AED 7,500 as separate lines against AED 6,500 bundled). The discount is for packaging, not for compliance scope: no module is optional because it is inconvenient.
WOLKIS hardware and software are aligned with DM-HSD-GU119 v4 technical guidelines and the federal Cabinet Resolution on air quality measurement instrument accuracy. Specific Article-level claims in third-party guides are interpretive — see our evidence-based explainer. KHDA and ADEK approved-vendor list inclusion is an active process — schools can adopt WOLKIS today under their general procurement authority, with the WOLKIS team supporting any school-specific compliance documentation requested by KHDA or ADEK inspectors. The KHDA/ADEK approved-vendor process typically requires a successful 60-day pilot to support the application.
No. WOLKIS Vape Guard is privacy-first by design — air-chemistry sensing only (TVOC, PM2.5, humidity, temperature). No cameras, no microphones, no image processing. This is critical for KHDA, ADEK and parent communication: monitoring vape events in bathrooms is permitted only because no student identification is happening. The our vape sensor has been independently audited for the absence of camera/audio components.
UAE private school budgets are typically planned August-September for the upcoming academic year (Sept-June). Decision-makers: Principal (advocates) → Operations Manager / Owner Group (approves) → KHDA approved-vendor check. For school chains (GEMS, Taaleem, Aldar Education, Bloom Education, Cranleigh): HQ-level RFP, 12-18 month cycle. For independent schools: 6-12 months. WOLKIS pilot deployment in 1 building or 1 floor (60 days) is recommended before campus rollout.
Independent research published in Frontiers in Public Health (2025) and reported in The National finds that 39.6% of UAE university students currently vape — the highest rate in the Arab world (vs. Kuwait 24%, Saudi Arabia 9%, Egypt 7%). The K-12 population trends downward in absolute terms but the trajectory is rising approximately 2× from the 2022 baseline. This is the strongest demand narrative for KHDA, ADEK and school procurement committees evaluating vape prevention infrastructure today.
WOLKIS provides a parent communication kit at no additional cost — bilingual (English + Arabic) explainer covering: what the sensors detect (air chemistry only, no images), how Dubai Law 5/2025 changed compliance requirements, what data is collected and stored, how privacy is protected. The kit is delivered as PDF + editable template so schools can co-brand and distribute via standard channels (parent portal, email, parent-teacher meetings).
Yes — chain-level rollouts are core to our product roadmap. Schools Bundle pricing is structured for both single-school adoption and group-wide rollouts. Group HQ procurement teams can negotiate volume terms via the Platinum partner tier (50+ schools/year MOQ — for GEMS, Taaleem, Aldar Education, Bloom Education, etc.). White-label dashboards available for groups that want to integrate WOLKIS data into existing operations reporting (e.g., GEMS One platform).
Installation: 2-4 days per campus (depending on school size). Onboarding: 1 week (Principal + Operations Manager training, parent communication rollout, KHDA/ADEK notification letters prepared if requested). Sensors connect over LoRaWAN, so there is no network cabling and no disruption to school operations; vape detectors need a USB-C power point or PoE, air-quality and temperature sensors can run on batteries. Best installation window: school holiday weeks (between terms).
IAQ sensors are zone-based — one sensor per ~250 m² ventilation zone (per DM-HSD-GU119 v4 specification). Standard 8-sensor configuration covers: main classrooms (high CO₂ risk during exam season), cafeteria (combined cooking + occupancy load), gym (PM2.5 + humidity), library (low load reference baseline), staff room. Additional IAQ zones are priced on the standard per-zone tiers (AED 800, AED 600 from 5 zones, AED 400 from 21) — the same schedule as every other WOLKIS site.
