Building AC Testing

In the 2026 Malaysian regulatory landscape, Building AC Testing—encompassing Testing & Commissioning (T&C) and Performance Audits—is a mandatory statutory requirement. Under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024 and MS 1525:2024, systems must be verified to ensure they meet strict energy intensity and safety benchmarks.

At EKG (Malaysia) SDN BHD, our testing protocols ensure your facility is Statutory-Compliant, Energy-Optimized, and BOMBA-Ready.

1. Statutory Performance Audits (EECA 2024)

As of 2026, building owners must prove their AC systems adhere to the mandatory Building Energy Intensity (BEI) targets. A registered energy audit is now a legal prerequisite for commercial and industrial assets.

• Specific Fan Power (SFP) Verification: We measure total fan power against airflow to ensure the system does not exceed the 1.6 kW/m³/s statutory limit.

• VFD Modulation Audit: Verification that Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are correctly responding to static pressure resets to minimize energy waste.

• Enthalpy & Heat Transfer Validation: Using psychrometric mapping to prove the cooling coil is meeting its design latent and sensible loads effectively.

2. BOMBA 2026 Life-Safety Integration

Testing is the primary evidence required for the annual renewal of your building's Fire Certificate (FC). The AC system must be proven to behave correctly during an emergency.

• Automatic Fire Signal AHU Shut-off: We witness the hard-wired trigger from the Fire Alarm Monitoring System (FAMS) that kills power to the fans to prevent feeding a fire with oxygen.

• Motorized Fire Damper (MFD) Testing: Physical verification that dampers reach a 100% smoke-tight closure within the statutory timeframe.

• Smoke Spill & Pressurization: Testing of specialized extraction fans to ensure safe egress routes (stairwells) remain smoke-free at the correct Pascal (Pa) pressure.

3. The T&C Checklist for New AHUs

For new installations in KL and Selangor, a comprehensive Testing & Commissioning (T&C) report is required for building handover.

4. Why Partner with EKG (Malaysia) SDN BHD?

• Technical Integrity: We are mechanical and T&C specialists, not just fabricators. We use NATA-traceable instruments to provide "audit-proof" data.

• GITA Support: Our testing reports provide the technical foundation for claiming the 100% Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA).

• REA/REM Assistance: We format all data specifically to help your Registered Energy Manager (REM) fulfill mandatory statutory submissions to the Energy Commission (ST).
