The building o�ciai shall require that an energy pertormance level(EPL) display card be compieted and certified by the builder to be accurate and oorrect before final approval of the building for occupancy.Florida law j5ection 553.9085,Flarida Statues]requires the EP!disp(ay card to be included as an addendum to each sales coniract for 6ath presold and nonpresald residential buildings.The EPL display card contains information indicating the energy pertormance 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 tauilder accurately reflects the plans a�d specifications submitted to demonstrate compliance for the buildEng.A copy of fhe EPL display card ca�be found En Appendix G. O R402.4 Air leakage(Mandatory). The building thermal envelope shall be constructed to limit air leakage in accordance with the requirements of S�ections R402.1 through R402.4.4. �I Q R402.4.1 Building thermal envelope. The building thermal envelope shall comply with Sections R402.4.1.1 and R4q2.4.1.2.The sealing methods between dissimilar materials shall allow for differential expansion and cantraction. � R402.4.t.1 Instaliation. The components of the building thermal envelope as listed in Tahie R402.4.i.1 shai(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 constructian. Where required by ihe code oificial,an appraved third party sha!(inspect al!companenis and verify campliance. � • R402.4.1.2 Testing. The building or dwelling unit shall be tested and verified as having an air leakage rate of nat exceeding 5 air changes per hour in G(imate Zones 1 and 2,and 3 air changes ger haur in Gfimate Zanes 3 through 8.Testing shali be canducted with , a blower door at a pressure af 0.2 incfies w.g.{50 Pascals}.Where required by the code afficial,tesfing sha((be conducted by an approved third party.A written report of the results of the test shall be signed by the party conducting the test and provided to the code ' o€ficiai.Testing shal(be performed at any time after creation of ali penetrations of the building therma!emelope. During testing: 1.E�erior windows and doors,fireplace and stove doors shall be closed,but not sealed,beyond the intended weatherstripping or other infiltration control measures; � 2.Dampers including exhaust,intake,makeup air,backdraft and flue dampers shall be clased,but not sealed beyond intended ` infiltration contro!measures; 3.Entedor doars,if instailed at the time af fhe test,sha116e open; � 4,Exterior doors for continuous ventilation systems and heat recovery ventilators shall be closed and sealed; � 5.Heating and cooling systems,if installed at the time of the test,sha!!be#urned off;and i 6.Supply and retum registers,if installed at the time of the test,shall he fu1ly apen. � O R402.4.2 Fireplaces. New waod-burning fireplaces shall have tight-fitting flue dampers and outdaor combustion air i O RA02.4.3 Penestration air Ieakage.Windaws,skylights and s(iding giass doors shail have an air infiltration 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 iAAMAt4VDMAlGSA 101/1.S2JA440 by a�accredited,independeni laboratory and Eisted and labeled by the manufacturer Exception: Site-built windows,skylights and doors. � O R402.4.4 Recessed Iighting. Recessed iuminaires instalEsd in ihe building thermal envelope shall be sealed to Eimit air leakage between conditioned and unconditioned spaces.A(1 recessed luminaires sha(1 be 1C-rated and labeled as having an air leakage rate not more than 2.0 cfm(0.944 L/s)when tested in accordance with ASTM E 283 at a 1.57 psf(75 Pa)pressure differential.All recessed ,, luminaires shall he sealed with a gasket or caulk between t6e housing and the interiar wall or ceiling covering. ❑ R403.1.1 Thermostat pravision(Mandatory). At least one thermostat shall be provided for each separate heating and cooling system. I O RqI03.i.3 Heat pump supplementary heat(1Vlandatory}. Heat pumps having supplementary elecfric-resistance hea#shall have contrals that,except during defrost,prevent supplemental heat operation when the heat pump compressor can meet the heating laad. � R4I03.2.2 Sealing(Ntandatory}Al!ducts,air handlers,and flier boxes and building cavities that form the primazy air containmeat pas�sageways for air distribution systems shall be considered ducts and plenum chambers,sha(I be constructed and sealed in accordance witt�Section C403.2.7.2 of the Commercial Provisians of this code and shall be shown.to meet duct tightness criteria by post-construction ar r�pughan testing below. DuCt tightness shall be verified by testing to Sectian 803 of the RESNET Standards by either an energy rater certified in accordance with Section 553�.99,Florida Statutes,or as authorized by Florida Statutes,to be"substantially leak free"by either of the following: 1. � Post-construction test:Total�eakage sha((be(ess than or equal to 4 cfm(113 Umin)per 100 square feet(9.29 m2)of conditioned floor area when tested at a pressure differential of 0.1 inches w.g.(25 Pa)across the entire system,including the manufacturer's air handler enclosure.All register boots sha11 be taped ar 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)af conditioned floor area when.tested at a pressure differentiai af 0.1 inches w.g.(25Pa)across the systern,including fhe.manufactureCs air handier enclosure.Aii registers shall be taped or otherwise sealed dUring the test.If the air handler is not instalied at the time of the test,total{eakage shall be less than or equai to 3 cfm (85 Umin)per 100 square feet(9.29 m2)of conditioned floor area. �xceptions: �,1. The total leakage.test.is not required for ducts and air handlers located entirely within the building envelope. ,} ' 2.
