The health of school buildings
Improving the health of school buildings: solutions for a sustainable future
Schools are at the heart of education and well-being. Poorly optimized infrastructure management can lead to costly problems:
• Compromised occupant health
• Increased maintenance costs
• Environmental impacts
• Risks related to student vaping
• Noisy environments disrupting learning and safety
Discover how an innovative approach can turn these challenges into opportunities.

The challenges
of school
buildings
Water damage and leaks
Prevent water damage and control leaks
Anticipating water leaks is essential to preserving the health of school buildings. A proactive approach based on early leak detection and humidity monitoring allows issues to be addressed before damage escalates, reducing the impact on infrastructure and occupants. This preventive strategy helps maintain healthy and safe environments for students and staff.
When an incident occurs, fast, non-intrusive drying enables disruptions to be minimized while preserving the continuity of school activities. Combined with smart sensors, these solutions provide long-term visibility into building conditions, supporting better water management, lower intervention costs, and the long-term sustainability of educational facilities.
Our preventive solutions
Air quality
Minimize impacts on concentration and health
Our air quality sensors measure CO2, temperature, and humidity in real time. With precise monitoring, significant improvements in occupant well-being are measurable in terms of comfort and academic performance.
Poorly ventilated environments result in a 20% decrease in student concentration (Source: Harvard School of Public Health).

Vaping monitoring
Protect students’ health
Youth vaping is on the rise, endangering their health and disrupting the school environment.
Our discreet vaping detectors enable monitoring to identify and reduce incidents involving e-cigarette use.
21% of Quebec high school students reported vaping in the past 30 days (MSSS, 2019).

Acoustic monitoring
Stay ahead of CNESST standards with our sound sensors.
Noisy environments hinder students’ concentration and expose staff to hearing risks.
Sound sensors monitor noise levels in real time, ensuring a compliant and well-prepared space for CNESST standards implementation.
Nearly 60% of school employees report that high noise levels negatively affect their efficiency and well-being (CNESST, 2023).
Our solutions for noise levels
Proactively managing infrastructure
Delayed repairs increase costs and disrupt school activities.
Oblik software, combined with the power of our IoT sensors, enables proactive control and management of your building’s health to minimize risks for both the structure and its occupants.
The advanced management and 24/7 availability of sensor data in buildings allow for significant cost savings and uninterrupted operations.
Schools investing in IoT technologies experience an average 18% reduction in energy costs (Source: Gartner, 2023).
