Kuala Lumpur | February 13, 2026 — EKG M&E Sdn Bhd continues to provide high-level mechanical support for Malaysia's leading financial institutions. Our latest technical project focuses on the comprehensive HVAC maintenance and optimization of the cooling infrastructure at Citibank. Given the high-density computing and operational requirements of a global banking facility, ensuring 24/7 climate reliability is critical.
Scope of Work: AHU Performance Optimization, Coil Cleaning, and System Calibration
Financial facilities like Citibank require absolute precision in temperature and humidity control to protect sensitive data infrastructure and ensure employee comfort.
Thermal Inefficiency: Over time, Air Handling Units (AHUs) can accumulate particulate matter on cooling coils, leading to increased "drag" and reduced heat exchange.
Energy Draw: Systems with fouled components must work harder to maintain setpoint temperatures, leading to higher operational costs and unnecessary mechanical wear.
Air Quality Standards: For a high-occupancy corporate office, maintaining superior Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a non-negotiable health and safety requirement.
The EKG team implemented a deep-level preventative maintenance protocol tailored for commercial banking environments:
AHU Performance Audit: We conducted a comprehensive audit of the Air Handling Units to detect early signs of motor fatigue or bearing wear.
Deep Coil Cleaning: Utilizing specialized pH-neutral foaming agents, our technicians performed a thorough descaling of the cooling coils. This removes the "matting" of dust and debris, restoring the unit's original thermal transfer efficiency.
System Recalibration: Following the cleaning, the system was recalibrated to ensure optimal airflow and pressure balance throughout the facility.
Filtration Management: All primary and secondary filters were inspected and replaced where necessary to ensure the highest standards of air filtration.
Energy Savings: The restoration of heat exchange efficiency is estimated to reduce the system's energy consumption by 10-15%.
Reliability: By identifying and addressing minor mechanical issues during the audit, EKG has significantly reduced the risk of unexpected system downtime.
Extended Asset Life: Proactive maintenance reduces the "load" on motors and compressors, extending the service life of Citibank's high-value MEP infrastructure.
Headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, EKG M&E Sdn Bhd is a premier MEP specialist serving the commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors across Malaysia. We are dedicated to "Engineering Comfort" through technical excellence, innovation, and a commitment to sustainable building practices.
