F�ORM R�05-2014 MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS - (Continued) � � R403.6.1.1 Cooling equipment capacity.(continued) The published value for AHRI total capacity is a nominal,rating-test value and shall not be used for equipment sizing.Manufacture's expanded pertormance data shall be used to select cooling-only equipment.This selection shall be used to select cooling-only equipment.This selection shall be based on the outdoor design dry bulb temperature for the load calculation(or entering water temperature for water-source equipment),the blower cfm provided by the expanded pertormance data, the design value for entering wet bulb temperature and the design value for entering dry bulb temperature. Design values for entering wet bulb and dry bulb temperature shall be for the indoor dry bulb and relative humidity used for the load calculation and shall be adjusted for return side gains if the return duct(s)is installed in an unconditioned space. . Exceptions: . 1. Attached single-and multi-family residential equipment sizing may be selected so that its cooling capacity is less than the calculated total sensible load but not less than 80 percent of that load. 2. When signed and sealed by a Florida-registered engineer,in attached single-and multi-family units,the capacity of equipment may be sized in accordance with good design practice. � R403.6.1.2 Heating equipment capacity ' R403.6.1.2.7 Heat pumps. Heat pumps sizing shall be based on the cooling requirements as calculated according to Section R403.6.1.1 and the heat pump total cooling capacity shall not be more than 1.15 times greater than the design cooling load. . R403.6.1.2.2 Electric resistance furnaces. Electric resistance furnaces shall be sized within 4 kW of the design requirements calculated according to the procedure selected in Section R403.6.1. ' R403.6.1.2.3 Fossil fuel heating equipment. The capacity of fossil fuel heating equipment with natural draft atmospheric burners shall not be less than the design load calculated in accordance with Section R403.6.1 , 0 R403.6.1.3 Extra capacity required for special occasions. Residences requiring excess cooling or heating equipment capacity on an intermittent basis,such as anticipated additional loads caused by major entertainment events,shall have equipment sized or controlled to prevent continuous space cooling or heating within that space by one or more of the following options: 1. A separate cooling or heating system is utilized to provide cooling or heating to the major entertainment areas. 2. A variable capacity system sized for optimum performance during base load periods is utilized. - ❑ R403.7 Systems serving multiple dwelling units(Mandatory). Systems serving multiple dwelling units shall compiy with Sections C403 and C404 of the Commercial Provisions in lieu of Section R403. ❑ R403.8 Snow melt system controls(Mandatory). Snow and ice-melting systems,supplied through energy service to the building,shall include automatic controls capable of shutting off the system when the pavement temperature is above 55°F,and no precipitation is falling and an automatic or manual control that will allow shutoff when the outdoor temperature is above 40°F. ❑ R403.9 Swimming paols,inground spas and portable spas(Mandatory). The energy requirements for residential pools and inground spas shall be as specified in Sections R403.9.1 through R403.9.3 and in accordance with ANSI/APSP-15.The energy requirements for portable spas shall be in accordance with ANSI/APSP-14. Q R403.9.7 Pool and spa heaters. All pool heaters shall be equipped with a readily accessible on-off switch that is mounted outside the heater to allow shutting off the heater without adjusting the thermostat setting. � R403.9.1.1 Gas and oil-fired pool and spa heaters. All gas-and oil-fired pool and space heaters shall have a minimum thermal efficiency of 82 percent for heaters manufactured on or after April 16,2013 when tested in accordance with ANSI Z 21.56. Pool heaters fired by natural gas or LP gas shall not have continuously burning pilot lights. � R403.9.1.2 Heat pump pool heaters. Heat pump pool heaters shall have a minimum COP of 4.0 when tested in accordance with AHRI 1160,Table 2,Standard Rating Conditions-Low Air Temperature.A test report from an independent laboratory is " required to verify procedure compliance.Geothermal swimming pool heat pumps are not required to meet this standard. O R403.9.2 Time switches. Time switches or other control method that can automatically turn off and on heaters and pumps according to a preset schedule shall be installed on all heaters and pumps. Heaters,pumps and motors that have built in timers shall be deemed in compliance with this equipment. Exceptions: • 1. Where public health standards require 24-hour pump operations. 2. Where pumps are required to operate solar-and waste-heat-recovery pool heating systems. 3. Where pumps are powered exclusively from on-site renewable generation. O R403.9.3 Cavers. Heated swimming pools and inground permanently installed spas shall be equipped with a vapor-retardant cover on or at the water surface or a liquid cover or other means proven to reduce heat loss. Exception: Outdoor pools deriving over 70 percent of the energy for heating from site-recovered energy,such as a heat pump or ' solar energy source computed over an operating season. ❑ RR404.1 Lighting equipment(Mandatory). A minimum of 75 percent of the lamps in permanently installed lighting fixtures shall be high-efficacy lamps or a minimum of 75 percent of permanently installed lighting fixtures shall contain only high efficacy lamps. Exception: Low-voltage lighting shall not be required to utilize high-efficacy lamps. � � R404.1.1 Li htin e ui ment Mandato Fuel as li htin s stems shall not have continuousl burnin ilot li hts 9 9 9 P � rY)• 9 9 9 Y Y 9 P 9 � R405.2 Performance ONLY.
