FORNI R�05-2014 Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulations ' Residential Whole Buildin Performance and Prescri tive Methods ADDRESS: Permit Number: � Zephyrhills,FL, MAN ��ATORY REQUIREMENTS �ee individuai code ssctians for full details. � R01.3 Energy Pertormance Level(EPL)display card(Mandatory). The building official shell require that an energy pertormance level(EPL) display card be completed and certified by the builder to be accurate and correct before�nal approval of the building for occupancy.Fiorida!aw (Section 553.9085,Florida Statues]requires fhe EP�display card to be included as an addendum ta each sales contracf for both presold and r�onpresold residentiai buildings.The EPI.display card contains informatian indicating the energy performance level and efficiencies of camponents - installed in a dwelling unit.The building official shall verify that the EPL display card completed and signed by the builder accurately reflects the plans and specifications submitted ta demons#rate campliance for the buifding.A copy of the EP�display card can be faund in Appendix G. C1 F�402.4 Air leakage(Mandatory). The building thermal envelope shall be constructed to limit air leakage in accordance with the requirements of Sections R402.7 through R402.Q.4. Q R402.4.1 Bullding thermal envelope. The building thermal envelope shall comply with Sections R402.4.1.1 and R402.4 1.2.The sealing methods between dissimilar materials shall allouu for differential expansion and contraction. • R442.4.1.1 Instatiation. The components of the building thermal envelope as listed in Tabie R402.4.i.1 shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and the criteria listed in Table 402.4.1.1,as applicable to the method of canstruction. ' Where required by the code o�cia[,ar�approved third party shall inspeot at1 components and veri€y compliance. • R402.4.1.2 Testing. The building or dwelling unit shall be tested and verified as having an air leakage rate of not exceeding 5 air I changes per hour in Glimate Zones 1 and 2,and 3 air changes per hour in Giirnate Zones 3 ihrough 8.Testing shall be canducted wiih a biawer door at a pressure of 0.2 inches w.g.(50 Pascals).Where required by the code afficial,testing sha(1 be conducted by an approved third parry.A written report of the results of the.test shall be signed by the party conducting the test and provided to the code affieial.Testing shal!be per�ormed at any time after creation af all penetrations af the building thermai enveEape. � During testing: 1.Exterior windows and doors,fireplace and stove doors sha!!be closed,but not sealed,beyond the intended weatherstripping or other infilkration control measures; . 2.Dampers including exhaust,intake,makeup air,backdraft and flue dampers shall be cipsed,but not sealed beyond intended infi(tration contro!measures; 3.Inierior doors,if installed at the fime af the test,shalE be open; 4.Exterior doors for continuous ventilatian systems and heat recovery ventilators shall be closed and sealed; ' 5.Heating and cooling systems,if insta!!ed at the time of the iest,shal!be tumed off;and 6.Supply and refum registers,if installed at the time of the test,shall be fully apen. , ' O R402.4.2 Fireplaces. New wood-buming fireplaoes shall have tight-fitting flue dampers and ou#door combustion air. O R402.A.3 Fenestration air ieakage.Windows,sky(ights and sliding glass doors shal(have an air infiitration rate of no more than 0.3 cfm per square foot(1.5 Us/m2),and swinging doors no more than 0.5 cfm per square foot(2.6 Us/m2),when tested according to NFRC 400 or AAMA/WDMAlCSA i0111.S.2lA4A4 by an accredited,independent laboratory and[isEed and labeled by the manufacturer. + � Exception: Site-built windows,skylights and doors. Q R402.4.4 Recessed lighting. Recessed luminaires insTalEed in ti�e builcfing thermal enveiope sha[1 be sealed to limit air Eeakage between conditioned and unconditioned spaces.All recessed luminaires shall be iC-rated and labeled as having an air leakage rate not more than 2.0 cfm(0.944 Us)when tested in accordance with ASTM E 283 at a 1.57 psf(75 Pa)pressure differential.All recessed lurninaires shal!be sealed with a gasket or cauik between the housing and the intedor wall ar ceiling covering. � R403.1.1 Thermastat provision(Mandatory). At least one thermostat shall be provided for each separate heating and cooling system. � R4�S.1.3 Heat pump suppEemecstary 6eat(Mandatory). Heat pumps havi�g supplementary electric-resistance heaE shall have controls ' thaE,except during defrost,prevent supplemental heat operation when the heat pump compressor can meet the heating load. � R4032.2 Sea[ing{{Vtandatory}A!1 ducts,air handfers,and fiiter boxes and building cavities that form the primary air containment • pa�sageways for air distribution systems shail be considered ducts and pienum chambers,shail be constructed and sealed in accordance witt�Section C403.2.7.2 of the Cammercial Provisians of this code and shall be shawn to meet duct tightness criteria by post-construction or rough-in tesfing below. � Du�t tightness shall be verified by testing to Section 803 of the RESNET Standards by either an energy rater certified in accordance with Section 553.99,Florida Statutes,or as aufhorized by Fforida SYatutes,to be"substantially leak free"by either of the following: i 1 ' Post-construction test:Total leakage shaii be less than or equal to 4 cfm(113 Umin)per 100 square feet(9.29 m2)af conditianed floor area when tested at a pressure differential of 0.1 inches w.g.(25 Pa)acrass the entire system,including the manufacturer's air handler enclosure.All � ' register boots shall 6e taped or otherwise sealed during the test. 2. Rough-in test:Total leakage shall be less than or equal to 4 cfm(113 Umin)per 100 square feet(9.29 m2)of conditioned floor area when tested ' ' at a pressure differenfia[of 0.1 inches w.g.(25Pa}across ihe system,inc3uding the mannfacturer's air handler enclosure.All registers shall be , taped or otherwise seaied during the test.If the air handier is not installed at the fime of the test,total leakage shall be less than or equal to 3 cfm � '� (85 Umin)per 100 square feet(9.29 m2)of conditioned floor area. � Exceptions: i. The total leakage test is not required for ducts and air handlers located entirely within the building envelope. �. Duct testing is not mandatary far buildings complying by Section R405 af this code. 11/7 20i 6 10:42 AM EnergyGaugeC�[1SA-FlaRes2014 -Section R445.4.1 Com Page i af 3
