MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS - (Continued) R403.5.5 Heat traps(Mandatory). Storage water heaters not equipped with intec ral heat traps and having vertical pipe risers shall have heat traps installed on both the inlets and outlets. External heat traps shall consist c f either a commercially available heat trap or a downward and upward bend of at least 3 1/2 inches(89 mm)in the hot water distribu ion line and cold water line located as close as possible to the storage tank. R403.5.6 Water heater efficiencies(Mandatory). R403.5.6.1.1 Automatic controls. Service water-heating systems shall be equipped with automatic temperature controls capable of adjustment from the lowest to the highest acceptable temperature settir gs for the intended use.The minimum temperature setting range shall be from 100°F to 140°F(38°C to 60°C). ❑ R403.5.6.1.2 Shut down. A separate switch or a clearly marked circuit bt 3aker shall be provided to permit the power supplied to electric service systems to be turned off.A separate valve shall be providc d to permit the energy supplied to the main burner(s)of combustion types of service water-heating systems.to be turned off. R403.5.6.2 Water-heating equipment. Water-heating equipment instad ed in residential units shall meet the minimum efficiencies of Table C404.2 in Chapter 4 of the Florida Building Code, Energy Conserva ion,Commercial Provisions,for the type of equipment installed. Equipment used to provide heating functions as part of a combination syst m shall satisfy all stated requirements for the appropriate water-heating category.Solar water heaters shall meet the criteria of Secti n R403.5.6.2.1. ❑ R403.5.6.2.1 Solar water-heating systems. Solar systems for do estic hot water production are rated by the anrival solar energy factor of the system.The solar energy factor of a system shall be de ermined from the Florida Solar Energy Center Directory of Certified Solar Systems.Solar collectors shall be tested in accordan e with ISO Standard 9806,Test Methods for Solar Collectors, and SRCC Standard TM-1,Solar Domestic Hot Water System and omponent Test Protocol.Collectors in installed solar water-heating systems should meet the following criteria: 1. Be installed with a tilt angle between 10 degrees and 40 degre s of the horizontal;and 2. Be installed at an orientation within 45 degrees of true south. R403.6 Mechanical ventilation(Mandatory). The building shall be provided wth ventilation that meets the requirements of the Florida Building Code,Residential,or Florida Building Code,Mechanical,as appl cable,or with other approved means of ventilation including:Natural,Infiltration or Mechanical means.Outdoor air intakes and exha sts shall have automatic or gravity dampers that close when the ventilation system is not operating. R403.6.1 Whole-house mechanical ventilation system fan efficacy. When ristalled to function as a whole-house mechanical ventilation system,fans shall meet the efficacy requirements of Table R403.6.1. Exception: Where whole-house mechanical ventilation fans are integ al to tested and listed HVAC equipment,they shall be powered by an electronically commutated motor. R403.6.2 Ventilation air. Residential buildings designed to be operated at a ositive indoor pressure or for mechanical ventilation shall meet the following criteria: 1. The design air change per hour minimums for residential buildings in I SHRAE 62.2,Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality,shall be the maximum rates allowed for residential applications. 2. No ventilation or air-conditioning system make-up air shall be provide to conditioned space from attics, crawlspaces,attached enclosed garages or outdoor spaces adjacent o swimming pools or spas. 3. If ventilation air is drawn from enclosed space(s),then the walls of thE space(s)from which air is drawn shall be insulated to a minimum of R-11 and the ceiling shall be insulated to a minimum of R-19,space permitting,or R-10 otherwise. R403.7 Heating and cooling equipment(Mandatory). R403.7.1 Equipment sizing. . Heating and cooling equipment shall be s zed in accordance with ACCA Manual S based on the equipment loads calculated in accordance with ACCA Manual J or other approved heating and cooling calculation methodologies, based on building loads for the directional orientation of the building.The inanufacturer and model number of the outdoor and indoor units(if split system)shall be submitted along with the sensible anc total cooling capacities at the design conditions described in Section R302.1.This Code does not allow designer safety factors,provisions for future expansion or other factors that affect equipment sizing.System sizing calculations shall not include loads created by local intermittent mechanical ventilation such as standard kitchen and bathroom exhaust systems.New or replacement ieating and cooling equipment shall have an efficiency rating equal to or greater than the minimum required by federal law for the geographic location where the equipment is installed.
