In the 2026 Malaysian regulatory landscape, an HVAC Performance Check has transitioned from a routine maintenance task to a statutory requirement. Under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024, commercial and industrial buildings are now legally mandated to prove their systems are operating within specific energy intensity benchmarks.
At EKG (Malaysia) SDN BHD, our performance checks are engineered to be Statutory-Compliant and Data-Driven, ensuring your facility remains BOMBA-Ready and energy-optimized.
As of 2026, the Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST) requires building owners to monitor and report their Building Energy Intensity (BEI). A performance check is the primary tool for this.
Specific Fan Power (SFP) Audit: We measure the actual kW draw of your VFD-driven AHU against the delivered airflow. To comply with MS 1525:2024, this must remain below 1.6 kW/m³/s.
VFD Modulation Verification: We verify that your system is actively using Static Pressure Reset logic. If your fans are running at a constant speed regardless of load, you are likely in violation of the 2026 energy codes.
GITA Prerequisite: Documented performance checks are required to maintain your 100% Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA) status for high-efficiency cooling assets.
We use high-precision, NATA-traceable instruments to map the "Actual vs. Design" health of your AHU.
| Checkpoint | Engineering Metric | Purpose |
| Airflow Traverse | $m^3/h$ (measured via Pitot tube) | Ensures the AHU meets the thermal load without over-ventilating (wasting energy). |
| Enthalpy Map | $\Delta h$ (On-coil vs. Off-coil) | Validates that the cooling coil is removing moisture effectively in KL's 90% humidity. |
| ESP Verification | External Static Pressure (Pa) | Identifies "chokepoints" or leaks in the AHU Ducting Service. |
| Delta T Verification | Chilled Water $\Delta T$ | Ensures a high temperature difference (min $5.5^\circ\text$) to optimize chiller plant COP. |
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is now a primary focus for DOSH (JKKP). A performance check must include a biological safety review.
Filter Integrity Test: We verify that your MERV 13+ filters are correctly seated with zero bypass leakage.
Condensate Drainage Audit: We verify the 1:100 statutory slope and P-trap priming. Stagnant water in the pan is a violation of the 2026 health codes and a source of Legionella risk.
CO2 Flush Test: We verify that the outdoor air dampers correctly modulate to keep CO2 levels below 1,000 ppm during peak occupancy.
A performance check is incomplete without verifying the "Fire Mode" functionality required for your annual Fire Certificate (FC).
FAMS Interface: We trigger a simulated signal from the Fire Alarm Monitoring System to witness the Automatic Fire Signal AHU Shut-off.
Damper Response: We physically verify that all Motorized Fire Dampers (MFDs) reach a 100% smoke-tight seal.
Acoustic Signature: We ensure the unit operates within the NC 30-35 range. Excessive noise can interfere with building emergency voice-alarm (VA) systems.
Technical Integrity: We are installation and T&C specialists, not fabricators. Our checks provide an objective, third-party assessment of your system’s health.
Audit-Ready Documentation: We provide a comprehensive HVAC Performance Audit Report formatted specifically for your Registered Energy Manager (REM).
BEI Optimization: We don't just find faults; we optimize your VFD setpoints to lower your annual electricity spend and improve your BEI Star Rating.
