The building official shall require that an energy pertormence level(EPL) display card be completed and certified by the builder to be accurate and correct before final approval of the building for occupancy.Florida law [Section 553.9085,Florida Statues�requires the EP!dEsplay card to be included as an addendum ta each sales contract for both presald and nanpresold residential buildings.The EPL display card contains information indica#ing the energy performance level and efficiencies of components installed in a dwelling unit.The building offioial shall verify that the EPL display card completed and signed by the builder accurately reflects the plans arrd specificatians submitted to dernonstrate compliance far the building.A copy af the EPC.display eard can be found in Appendix C. � R402.4 Air I.eakage(Mandatory). The building thermal envelope shall be constructed to limit air leakage in accordance with the requireme�ts of Sections R4Q2.1 through R402.4.4. � Q R402.4.1 Building thermai 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 allow for differential expansion arid contraction. • R402.4.1.1 Installation. The components of the bui(ding therrnal envelope as(isted in Tab(e R402.4.1.1 shal�be installed in aocordance with the manufacturer's instructions and the criteria listed in Table 402.4.1.1,as applicable to the method of construction. Where required by ihe cade oificial,an approved third party sha((inspect aif components and verify compiiance. ■ R402.4.1.2 Testing. The building or dwelling unit shail be tested and verified as having an air leakage rate of not exceeding 5 air changes per haur in Glimate Zones 1 and 2,and 3 air changes per hour in Glimate 2ones 3 thraugh 8.Tesfing shaf2 be conducted with a blower doar at a pressure of 0.2 inches w.g.(50 Pascais).Where required by the code official,testing shal(be canducted 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 officiaL Testing shal!be perfarmed at any time aRer creatian of a!!penetratians af the bui(ding iherma!envelope. During testing: 1.E�tierior windows and doars,fireplace and stove doors shall be closed,but not sealed,beyond the intended weatherstripping or other infi]tration contro(measures, 2.Dampers including exhaust,intake,makeup air,backdraft and flue dampers shall be closed,but not sealed beyond intended infiltration control measures; 3,lnterior doors,if installed at ihe time af the test,shall be open; 4.EMerior doors for continuous ventilation systems and heat recovery ventilators shall be closed and sealed; 5.Heating and cooling systems,if installed at the tirne of the tesi,shall be turned off;and - 6.Supply and retum registers,if instaRed at the fime ot fhe fest,shall he fu(ly open. O R402.4.2 Fireplaces. New wood-burning fireplaces shall have tight-fitting flue dampers and outdoor combustion air. . O R402.4.3 Fenestration air teakage.Windows,skylights and sliding glass doors sha((have an air infiltration rate of no more tfian 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 AAMAJ4VDMAlCSA 101(1.S.2JA44Q 6y an accredited,iadependent la6oratary and listed and Iabeled by the tr�anufaciurer. Exceptian: Site-buiit windows,skylights and doars. O R402.4.4 Recessed lighting. Recessed luminaires installed in ihe building thermal envelope shai!be sealed to limit air leakage between condifioned and unconditioned spaces.Ail recessed luminaires shaii 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 luminaires shall be sealed with a gasket or caulk beiween ihe housing and the interior wall or ceiling caver'tng. � R403.1.1 Thermostat provision(Mandatory). At least one thermostat shall be provided for each separate heating and cooling system. � R403.1.3 lieat pump supplemer�tary heat(iuIandatory}. Heat pumps having supplementary electric-resistance heat sha11 have cantro(s that,except during defrost,prevent supplemental heat operation when the heat pump compressor can meet the heating load. � R403.2.2 Seafing(Mandaiary}All ducis,air handIers,and filter boxes and building cavities that fiorm the primary air confainment passageways for air distri6ution systems sh'all be considered ducts and plenum chambers,shali be construc#ed and sealed in accordance with Section C403,2.7.2 of the Commercial Provisions of this code and shall be shown to meet duct tightness criteria by post-construction or rough-in iesting below Duct 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 authorized by Florida Statutes,to be"substantially leak free"by either af the following: -1. Post-construction test:Total(eakage shal(be(ess than or equai to 4 cfm(i 13 Umin)per i 00 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 shai!be taped or otherwise sealed during the Eest. - 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 aY a pressure ditferentiai of O.i inches w.g.{25Pa)aaross the system,including the manufacturer's air handier encfasure.AU registers sha!!be taped or otherwise sealed during the test.lf the air handler is not installed at the time of fhe test,tota(leakage shafl be less than or equal to 3 cfm (85 Umin)per 100 square feet(9.29 m2)of conditioned floor area. Exceptians'. 1 The total leakage test is not required for ducts and air handlers located entirely within the building envelope. 2.
