T&C: MS 1525:2024 Energy Efficiency Compliance Reports
As of 2026, MS 1525:2024 (the latest revision of the Code of Practice on Energy Efficiency and Use of Renewable Energy for Non-Residential Buildings) serves as the technical backbone for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024. In Malaysia, specifically for projects in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, Testing & Commissioning (T&C) reports are now a statutory bridge required by the Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST) to prove that an AHU or AC system meets mandatory performance benchmarks.
At EKG (Malaysia) SDN BHD, we specialize in providing "Audit-Ready" T&C reports that satisfy both MS 1525 technical standards and EECA legal mandates.
1. The MS 1525:2024 Statutory Framework
Under the 2024/2026 standards, T&C reports must provide empirical evidence of three primary energy metrics:
-
Specific Fan Power (SFP): AHUs must not exceed the statutory limit of 1.6 kW/m³/s. Our reports include simultaneous measurements of motor kW and volumetric airflow ($m^3/s$) to verify compliance.
-
Building Energy Intensity (BEI): For office buildings
$\ge$ 8,000 $m^2$, the maximum allowable BEI is capped at 250 kWh/m²/year. The T&C report proves the HVAC system is optimized to help achieve this target. -
Static Pressure Reset: Reports must verify that VFD-driven AHUs utilize control logic to reduce static pressure during partial loads, a mandatory requirement for 2026 energy efficiency certification.
2. Core Modules of an MS 1525 T&C Report
Our mechanical specialists utilize NATA-traceable, calibrated instruments to populate your compliance documentation.
| Report Section | Engineering Metric | 2026 Compliance Requirement |
| Airflow Traverse | Volumetric Flow ($m^3/h$) | Must be within ±10% of Design to prevent over-ventilation waste. |
| ESP Verification | Static Pressure (Pa) | Verification that duct resistance is minimized to keep SFP low. |
| Hydronic Balance | Delta T Verification | Achievement of a high $\Delta T$ (min $5.5^\circ\text{C}$) to optimize chiller COP. |
| Acoustic Signature | Sound Power Level ($L_w$) | Maintenance of NC 30-35 to ensure IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality). |
3. Integration with EECA 2024 Notices
Beginning in January 2026, the Energy Commission (ST) has started issuing official Energy Consumer Notices to organizations exceeding the consumption threshold (21,600 GJ/year).
-
REM Submission: Your Registered Energy Manager (REM) uses our MS 1525 T&C reports as the technical baseline for mandatory annual energy efficiency submissions.
-
EnMS Verification: We ensure the AHU performance data is accurately mapped into your Energy Management System (EnMS), as required by Section 6 of the Act.
-
GITA Documentation: Our reports provide the necessary technical proof for the 100% Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA), certifying that your equipment meets the "High Efficiency" criteria.
4. The "Fire & Safety" Statutory Overlay
MS 1525 compliance must never compromise life safety. Our reports include a witness section for BOMBA (JBPM) 2026 requirements.
-
Automatic Fire Signal AHU Shut-off: Verification that the energy-saving VFD controls yield to the fire alarm signal instantly.
-
Motorized Fire Damper (MFD) Log: Confirmation that all dampers reach a 100% smoke-tight seal while the AHU is in its "Fire State."
-
BOMBA Audit: These T&C logs are essential for the annual renewal of your building's Fire Certificate (FC).
5. Why Partner with EKG (Malaysia) SDN BHD?
-
Technical Integrity: We are installation and T&C specialists, not fabricators. Our MS 1525 reports are objective, empirical assessments of your system's real-world health.
-
KL/Selangor Compliance: We understand the specific humidity and pressure challenges of the Klang Valley, ensuring your AHU meets energy caps without failing DOSH 2026 IAQ audits.
-
Audit-Proof Documentation: We provide digital, structured reports formatted for immediate use by Registered Energy Auditors (REA).
