In the regulatory environment of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, a "Certified Energy-Saving AHU" refers to equipment that meets specific performance standards verified by independent testing and local governing bodies. With the EECA 2024 now in effect, certification is the bridge between a simple equipment purchase and a legally compliant, star-rated building.
EKG (Malaysia) SDN BHD specializes in the engineering and installation of AHU systems that carry the necessary certifications to fulfill MS 1525 requirements and support your facility's Building Energy Intensity (BEI) targets.
To be classified as a truly energy-saving unit in the Malaysian market, an AHU should meet or exceed these three technical benchmarks:
1. EUROVENT / AHRI 430 Performance Certification
Verified Ratings: These international certifications ensure that the AHU's published data—such as airflow, static pressure, and power consumption—has been independently verified. This prevents "under-performing" units from inflating your building's energy intensity.
Fan System Efficiency: Certified units must demonstrate a high fan system efficiency, typically utilizing IE4 or IE5 rated motors.
2. EN 1886 Mechanical Strength & Thermal Integrity
This standard certifies the physical "envelope" of the AHU. For a unit to be energy-saving in KL's humidity, it must achieve:
TB2 Thermal Break: Ensures no "cold bridging" occurs, stopping energy from leaking through the frame and preventing external sweating.
L1 Leakage Class: The highest seal rating, ensuring that zero treated air escapes the unit before reaching your office or factory floor.
3. MS 1525 Compliance (Local Energy Standard)
Specific Fan Power (SFP): To be certified for energy savings in Malaysia, the SFP should be lower than 1.6 kW per cubic meter per second. EKG-engineered systems often achieve much lower ratings through the use of EC Plug Fans.
EKG (Malaysia) SDN BHD integrates certified components to ensure the entire system performs as a high-efficiency asset:
EC (Electronically Commutated) Fans:
Unlike traditional AC motors, EC fans are direct-drive and maintain high efficiency even when running at partial speeds. They eliminate the energy losses associated with belts and pulleys.
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs):
A certified energy-saving AHU is never "single speed." VFDs allow the system to modulate based on actual demand, which is a core requirement of the EECA 2024 energy management mandates.
High-Efficiency Cooling Coils:
Certified coils are sized using psychrometric analysis to ensure maximum heat transfer with minimum air-side pressure drop. This reduces the workload on both the AHU fan and the central chiller plant.

Technical Integrity: We don't just "install a box." We perform a full AHU Energy Audit to ensure the certified equipment is perfectly matched to your building’s ductwork and thermal load.
3D BIM Coordination: We use 3D modeling to ensure a "clash-free" installation. By optimizing the air path, we minimize external static pressure, allowing your certified AHU to operate at its most efficient point.
BOMBA Compliance: All certified energy-saving materials, including high-performance PU insulation, are vetted for fire safety (Class 0 or B1) to meet international standards.
