WOLKIS monitors indoor air quality 24/7 β CO2, PM2.5, TVOC, temperature, humidity. Continuous compliance evidence aligned with DM-HSD-GU119 technical guidelines and ASHRAE 62.1 ventilation references. What we actually know about Dubai Law 5/2025 IAQ β
Industry-reference targets drawn from DM-HSD-GU119 technical guidelines, ASHRAE 62.1-2022 ventilation standard and WHO indoor air guidelines. Specific statutory limits under Dubai Law 5/2025 await published implementing regulations β see our evidence-based explainer.
A unique composite index, only on WOLKIS. No competitor in the UAE offers this.
Building Health Score (0β100) combines every IAQ parameter, compliance status, sensor uptime and historical trend into a single metric. Track improvements month-over-month, compare buildings across your portfolio, and demonstrate your commitment to occupant health to tenants and regulators alike.
Rather than describe the difference, we published it. In an instrumented Dubai residence, 20,640 WOLKIS sensor readings over 97 days recorded daily-mean PM2.5 falling from 25.5 to 11.3 µg/m³ (−56%) after a single HVAC filter change, while CO₂ stayed flat — so the drop is attributable to the filter and not to ventilation. Across the whole period, 0 of 3,481 rolling 8-hour CO₂ windows exceeded the DM-HSD-GU119 v4 limit of 800 ppm. Method, exceedances and limitations are published in full: WOLKIS Field Data — 97 days of continuous IAQ telemetry in a Dubai residence.
Dubai Law 5/2025 introduces public health obligations covering public-access buildings. Implementing details for IAQ specifically await published regulations; continuous monitoring is the most defensible evidence-gathering approach today.
WOLKIS sensors use LoRaWAN radio at 868 MHz (GCC ISM band) β not Wi-Fi, not Ethernet, not PoE. This architecture is the operational reason buildings can deploy WOLKIS in 2-3 weeks without ceiling cable pulls, network team involvement, or Wi-Fi access point coverage. Architecture details below for procurement and Engineering Directors who want to know what's actually running in the ceiling.
UAE Grade A office buildings deploy three different IAQ architectures depending on use case. LoRaWAN is the right answer for compliance-first deployments. For comparison see our BMS vs Standalone decision guide.
Each monitored zone gets its own sensor β one classroom, one meeting room, one function hall. This is how UAE regulations and HVAC engineering actually work.
You pay per zone: AED 800, dropping to AED 600 from 5 zones and AED 400 from 21. Minimum AED 1,600 per site. No per-square-meter charges, ever.
Dubai Law No. 5 of 2025 on Public Health introduces public health obligations for property owners that include indoor environment responsibilities. Dubai Municipality publishes detailed technical guidelines for IAQ (DM-HSD-GU119). A separate UAE Cabinet Resolution regulates air quality measurement instrument accuracy (ESMA/MIAT) at the federal level. Specific Article-level thresholds, fixed fine schedules and quarterly reporting requirements circulating in vendor guides are interpretive and should be confirmed directly with Dubai Municipality. See our evidence-based explainer for what is and is not yet confirmed.
An annual lab audit by an accredited laboratory (e.g. SGS, URS Labs, an accredited testing laboratory) provides one day of data per location at a typical cost in the AED 3,000β8,000 range based on market quotes β exact pricing varies by lab and scope. WOLKIS provides 365 days of continuous monitoring from AED 1,600 per site per month. The two approaches are complementary β continuous monitoring strengthens your evidence file, periodic accredited testing remains useful where specific lab reports are explicitly requested.
Building Health Score (BHS) is a WOLKIS-specific composite index from 0 to 100 that combines IAQ parameters, compliance status, sensor uptime and historical trends. Use it to track improvements month over month, compare buildings in a portfolio, and communicate IAQ status to tenants and occupants.
One sensor per zone β 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. You pay per zone: AED 800, dropping to AED 600 from 5 zones and AED 400 from 21, with a minimum of AED 1,600 per site. Adding a zone never increases your total: where a higher volume tier gives a lower price, that lower price applies. Examples: small clinic (3 consult + waiting = 4 zones) = 3,000 AED/mo; mid-size office (5 meeting rooms + open space + lobby = 7 zones) = 4,200 AED/mo; private school with 33 zones = 13,200 AED/mo. We confirm exact zoning during the free site audit β often fewer sensors than you'd expect.
Because IAQ varies by what's happening in a space, not its size. A 20 mΒ² classroom with 25 students has radically different CO2 than an empty 200 mΒ² warehouse. ASHRAE 62.1 specifies ventilation per zone, and DM-HSD-GU119 follows similar zoning logic. Per-zone pricing aligns our sensors with how engineering and inspections actually treat the building.
WOLKIS reports are formatted against DM-HSD-GU119 technical guidelines and include the full timestamped data archive. Whether continuous-monitoring reports are accepted as a substitute for accredited lab tests depends on each inspector and on the specific compliance question. The safe default is to use continuous monitoring as supporting evidence alongside any periodic lab testing your facility already does.
Yes β WOLKIS sensors and reports are deployable across all UAE emirates. Compliance frameworks vary: Dubai Municipality (DM-HSD technical guidelines), Department of Health Abu Dhabi (DOH, formerly HAAD), ADAFSA for food safety, plus federal instruments such as the UAE Cabinet Resolution on Technical Regulations for Air Quality Measurement. Confirm specific reporting obligations with the relevant emirate authority.
