Testing & Commissioning (T&C): EECA 2024 Compliant AHU Commissioning

As of May 2026, the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024 is in full enforcement across Malaysia. For building owners and facility managers in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, AHU commissioning is no longer a standard mechanical handover—it is a statutory verification of your building's Energy Intensity Performance. Under the new Act, office buildings exceeding 8,000 $m^2$ are legally required to maintain a minimum 2-Star BEI Rating, making high-efficiency AHU commissioning the primary tool for compliance.

At EKG (Malaysia) SDN BHD, our commissioning protocols are engineered to satisfy the Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST) audit requirements, ensuring your facility avoids the statutory fines (up to RM100,000) associated with non-compliance.

1. The EECA 2024 Statutory Framework

Commissioning under the 2026 mandate requires empirical proof that the AHU contributes to a lower Building Energy Intensity (BEI).

• SFP Audit (Specific Fan Power): We verify that the IE5 EC Fan Wall or VFD-driven fan does not exceed the statutory 1.6 kW/m³/s limit. This is a "Pass/Fail" metric for many modern energy audits.

• Mandatory BEI Labeling: Successful commissioning data is used by your Registered Energy Manager (REM) to calculate the kWh/m²/year required for the mandatory BEI Star Rating Label displayed in your lobby.

   

• EnMS Integration: We verify that the AHU's performance data is accurately pushed to your Energy Management System (EnMS), as required for the annual energy efficiency reports submitted to the Energy Commission.

   

2. Precision Commissioning Modules

Our mechanical specialists perform a multi-layered audit to ensure the unit is "Audit-Proof."

3. Engineering for "Laminar Integrity"

The success of an EECA-compliant commissioning process depends on the quality of the AHU Ducting Service.

1. ESP Verification: We measure the actual External Static Pressure against design. If the ductwork is too restrictive, the fan must work harder, spiking your BEI.

    

2. Acoustic Signature: We verify the unit operates within the NC 30-35 target. Under the 2026 Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) standards, energy efficiency must not come at the cost of occupant comfort.

3. Trap Prime Validation: We verify the 1:100 statutory slope and P-trap seal. A dry trap is an energy leak (unconditioned air bypass) and a violation of DOSH 2026 hygiene codes.

4. The "Fire Mode" Statutory Witness Test

Commissioning is the final step in securing your annual Fire Certificate (FC) from BOMBA (JBPM) 2026.

• FAMS Integration: We trigger 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.

• BOMBA Audit: The results are recorded in the safety logbook, which must be presented to JBPM officers during their annual site walkthrough.

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

• Technical Integrity: We are installation and T&C specialists, not fabricators. Our commissioning is an objective, third-party assessment of your system’s performance.

   

• Audit-Ready Reports: We provide a comprehensive EECA Compliance Report formatted for immediate use by your Registered Energy Auditor (REA).

• GITA Prerequisite: Our data provides the technical foundation for your 100% Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA) application.
