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).
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 are battery-powered LoRaWAN — no wiring, no disruption to school operations. 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.
