FLORIDA BUILDING CODE ADOPTED

Overview

RULE:

61G20-1.001

Florida Building Code Adopted

PURPOSE:

The Florida Building Code contains within it minimum energy efficiency standards for various heating, ventilation, and air conditioning products. Certain energy efficiency standards for these products are promulgated at the federal level by the Department of Energy. On January 1, 2023, new federal energy efficiency standards for some regulated products will go into effect, and the Florida Building Code must be updated in order to conform with the new standards. Additionally, House Bill 423 (2022) and Senate Bill 1140 (2022) have been passed by the Legislature and, if they are signed by the Governor, will make changes to provisions which are included in the Florida Building Code. If, during the course of rule development, these two bills are signed into law, the Florida Building Commission will make corresponding changes within the Code.

SUBJECT:

Corresponding changes to provisions of the Florida Building Code, 7th Edition (2020), which are derived from state statute and federal regulation.
