Florida requires energy code calculations as part of the permitting process for most residential and commercial projects. These calculations verify that a building's envelope and mechanical systems meet the state's energy efficiency standards.
The calculations look at things like insulation levels, window performance, equipment efficiency, and duct sealing to confirm the project complies with the applicable Florida energy code.
For residential projects, this often takes the form of a compliance report tied to the home's envelope and HVAC design. For commercial projects, energy compliance is frequently demonstrated through COMcheck documentation.
We prepare energy calculations aligned with the 2023 Florida Building Energy Code — and we work to the applicable edition for your project and jurisdiction. Code editions are updated periodically, so we always confirm which edition applies.
If your project needs energy calculations for permitting, we can help.
