With the enforcement of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024, carpark ventilation in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor has shifted from being a "safety-only" requirement to a "safety-plus-efficiency" mandate. Building owners of designated energy-consuming premises are now legally required to optimize mechanical systems, including the high-powered fans used for Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Smoke Spill extraction.
EKG M&E Sdn Bhd provides specialized engineering and retrofitting services to ensure your carpark exhaust system is fully compliant with EECA 2024, MS 1780, and BOMBA 2026 standards.
Under the new act, simply having a functional fan is no longer enough. The system must demonstrate measurable energy conservation.
EECA 2024 targets the "ghost load" of fans running at 100% when carparks are empty.
VFD-Linked Sensors: We integrate high-precision CO and CO2 sensors with Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). The system automatically modulates fan speed based on real-time air quality, reducing energy waste during off-peak hours.
Energy Savings: This strategy can reduce the monthly TNB electricity bill for ventilation by up to 60%, directly supporting the building's Building Energy Index (BEI).
The act emphasizes the efficiency of the air transport path itself.
Zero Leakage: We utilize 1.2mm heavy-gauge G.I. ducting with precision-sealed joints to achieve Class C Airtightness. This ensures that the fan's power is spent moving air from the carpark, not sucking in air through leaky duct seams.
Static Pressure Reset: Our control logic dynamically adjusts the "Static Pressure Setpoint" based on actual demand, preventing fans from fighting unnecessary resistance.
While EECA 2024 focuses on saving watts, BOMBA ensures those watts save lives. Our compliant systems are "Safety-Prioritized."
Emergency Override: In the event of a fire, the EECA energy-saving logic is instantly bypassed by the Fire Alarm Monitoring System (FAMS). The fans ramp to 100% capacity for Smoke Spill extraction, maintaining a 2-hour survival rating (FRL 120/120/120).
High-Efficiency Fire Motors: We utilize IE3 or IE4 rated high-temperature motors that meet both the efficiency requirements of EECA and the thermal endurance (300°C–400°C) required by BOMBA.
| Feature | Pre-EECA Standard System | EKG EECA 2024 Compliant System |
| Control Logic | Timer or Manual On/Off | Dynamic Sensor-Based (DCV) |
| Motor Efficiency | Standard (IE1/IE2) | High-Efficiency (IE3/IE4) |
| Duct Sealing | Standard Mastic | Class C / D (Airtight Precision) |
| Operational Hz | Constant 50Hz | Variable 20Hz – 50Hz |
| Audit Readiness | Low | Full EECA & BEI Compliance |
Total 3D BIM Coordination: EECA upgrades often require adding sensors and VFD panels to existing congested ceilings. We utilize 3D modeling to route new services with zero "clashes," preserving maximum vehicle headroom.
Turnkey Compliance Reporting: As part of our service, we provide the technical data and Airflow Traverse Tests required for your Registered Energy Manager (REM) to include in the mandatory EECA energy audits.
Strategic Regional Support: Based in Kuala Lumpur, we specialize in retrofitting Grade-A office towers, luxury malls, and hospitals to meet the 2026 enforcement deadlines.
Is your building ready for the mandatory EECA 2024 audit? Contact EKG M&E Sdn Bhd today for a professional energy-compliance audit and technical proposal for your carpark exhaust system.
Does your building currently have a Registered Energy Manager (REM)? We work closely with REMs to ensure all mechanical ventilation data is accurately captured for your first energy efficiency report.
