2017 National Electric Code (NEC) – The 7th Edition (2020) Florida Building Code in effect on December 31. 2020. The 2020 edition is based on the 2018 I-Codes and includes adoption of the 2017 NEC. State Energy Code 2018 IECC and 90.1-2016.

SECTION 110. 110.1 Use and occupancy. No building or structure shall be used or occupied, and no change in the existing occupancy classification of a building or structure or portion thereof shall be made until the building official has issued a certificate of occupancy therefor as provided herein.

The Florida legislature, through Chapter 81-226, Laws of Florida, and Chapter 553, Part VII, Florida Statutes, established the state energy code. Originally, this state law referenced minimum standards for construction to meet or exceed model standards such as those of ASHRAE/IES 90-1975.

Energy Ratings in Florida The Florida Building Energy-Efficiency Rating Act (Florida Statute 553.990) was passed by the State Legislature in 1993 and amended in 1994. It established a voluntary statewide energy- efficiency rating system for homes. The Rating System has been adopted by DCA Rule 9B-60.

Energy By Design provides builders, architects, and homeowners in Florida with Residential Energy Calculations and Manual J, D, & S Heat Load Calculations. Energy and Load Calculations are required in the State of Florida for all new homes and additions.

It's calculated by dividing the total energy consumed by the building in one year (measured in kBtu or GJ) by the total gross floor area of the building (measured in square feet or square meters).

SECTION 110. 110.1 Use and occupancy. No building or structure shall be used or occupied, and no change in the existing occupancy classification of a building or structure or portion thereof shall be made until the building official has issued a certificate of occupancy therefor as provided herein.

As every engineer knows, energy calculation is straightforward. The unit of electrical energy is the kilowatt-hour (kWh), found by multiplying the power use (in kilowatts, kW) by the number of hours during which the power is consumed. Multiply that value by the cost per kWh, and you have the total energy cost.

The Florida legislature, through Chapter 81-226, Laws of Florida, and Chapter 553, Part VII, Florida Statutes, established the state energy code. Originally, this state law referenced minimum standards for construction to meet or exceed model standards such as those of ASHRAE/IES 90-1975.

The Florida Building Code (FBC) is a set of standards designed by the Florida Building Commission for the construction of buildings in the US state of Florida. Many regulations and guidelines distributed are important benchmarks regarding hurricane protection.

2(1) of the Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation, shall be demonstrated by the use of Form R402 for single- and multiple-family residences of three stories or less in height, additions to existing residential buildings, alterations, renovations and building systems in existing buildings, as applicable.

Energy By Design provides builders, architects, and homeowners in Florida with Residential Energy Calculations and Manual J, D, & S Heat Load Calculations. Energy and Load Calculations are required in the State of Florida for all new homes and additions.

A Manual J Calculation determines the heating and cooling load requirements of a building or space, taking into account factors size as size, insulation, occupancy, and climate conditioned to properly size and design the HVAC system.

It's calculated by dividing the total energy consumed by the building in one year (measured in kBtu or GJ) by the total gross floor area of the building (measured in square feet or square meters).

Currently ENERGY STAR-certified windows for the southern climate zone, which is all of Florida, must have a U-Factor of 0.40 or less and a SHGC of 0.25 or less.
