Indoor Air Quality Monitoring Solutions for Schools
Vaping detection, CO2 monitoring and fire alarm monitoring that keeps students safe and gives estates teams full visibility across every campus.
Environmental monitoring for education
Do you actually know what's in the air in your school right now?
Most schools don't. High CO₂ in classrooms reduces concentration and increases absence. Vaping in toilets and changing rooms goes undetected for months. Fire alarms activate out of hours with no one alerted. Our sensors give schools continuous visibility across every space, with automated alerts so staff can act immediately, not after the fact. One platform, every building, no engineers required.
Use Cases
Vaping Detection & Safeguarding
Vaping produces minimal visible smoke and dissipates in seconds - making it virtually undetectable without the right technology. Schools are seeing a significant rise in student vaping, particularly in toilets, changing rooms and corridors. Our sensors detect the TVOC and particulate spikes that vaping aerosols produce, sending instant alerts to safeguarding staff the moment unusual levels are detected. Identify hotspots, intervene early, and build an evidence base to support policy and behaviour management.
Classroom Air Quality & Pupil Concentration
Research consistently shows that CO₂ levels above 1,000ppm reduce concentration, increase fatigue and affect learning outcomes. In a full classroom with poor ventilation, levels can exceed 2,000ppm within minutes. Our indoor air quality monitors track CO₂, temperature and humidity in real time - alerting staff when levels rise so they can ventilate before it impacts the lesson.
Fire Alarm Monitoring for Schools
When a fire alarm activates out of hours, who knows about it? Without a monitored fire alarm system, the answer is often nobody - until the next morning. Our Fire Sense connects to your existing fire alarm panels and sends instant push notifications to your team the moment an alarm activates, day or night. Replace expensive commercial fire alarm monitoring contracts with a solution that costs a fraction of the price and puts alerts directly in your team's hands.
Temperature & Humidity Control
Science labs, food technology rooms, server rooms, sports halls - each has different requirements, and each causes serious problems when conditions aren't maintained. Spoiled materials, equipment failure, mould growth, uncomfortable learning environments. Our temperature and humidity sensors monitor continuously and alert you the moment conditions drift outside acceptable ranges, before damage occurs.
Multi-Site Academy Trust Dashboard
Academy trusts managing multiple schools face a compliance challenge without centralised visibility. Which sites have issues? Which fire alarms activated last night? Which classrooms have persistently poor air quality? Our platform gives estates teams a single dashboard for every sensor across every campus, with exportable compliance reports and instant alerts, so nothing gets missed.
Why Clear The Air
Six reasons schools and academy trusts choose us over traditional monitoring solutions.
Cut monitoring contract costs
Our Fire Sense replaces expensive commercial fire alarm monitoring contracts, giving you 24/7 coverage at a fraction of the cost, with alerts direct to staff phones.
No engineers, no wiring
Built-in connectivity with an integrated eSIM means no IT team, no installation cost, no downtime. Peel, place, connect - up and running in minutes.
Stronger safeguarding
Vaping detection gives pastoral and safeguarding teams an additional layer of awareness in spaces that are impossible to supervise, with evidence-based alerts that identify exactly where the problem is happening.
Instant alerts to your phone
Not a report you read next week. A push notification the moment something goes wrong - whoever is on duty, wherever they are.
One platform, every campus
Whether you manage one school or a multi-site academy trust, every sensor in one dashboard. No logging into multiple systems. No missing a site.
Data to support policy
Long-term air quality data helps identify hotspots and supports behaviour management and policy decisions with evidence, not guesswork.
Recommended Products
The sensors most commonly deployed in schools, colleges and academy trusts.
CTA-PRO
