1. Question:. Are duplexes calculated like single family residences
on the' 900 forms?
Answer: No. They are to be considered in the same way triplex
or other multi -family structures are in that there is a common
wall on side by side models, or a common ceiling on over and
under models.
2. Question: Do .residential room additions have to comply with
the Energy Code?
Answer: No. section 101.3(a) says that the code applies to
allnew and renovated buildings. Section 101.3(a)(1) defines
renovated buildings as being nonresidential buildings undergoing
alteration. Neither the law nor the code defines new buildings.
Since room additions are not considered to be new buildings in
other code applications, it is our opinion that such additions
are not currently covered by the code. Legislation to correct
this deficiency will be introduced at the next legislative
session.

3, Question: Sections 503.7(a) and 603.3(a) call for the provision
of thermostats which are capable of a maximum temperature settingof75Fforheatingandaminimumtemperaturesettingof70F

this matter be handled? 3y i'._,

503.7(a) and 603.3(a') requiremerits'"are'Tin error and
are inconsistent with the design conditions stated elsewhere in
the code. This error will be corrected shortly to reflect
the more energy conserving design conditions. In the meantime
any thermostat which allows a temperature setting of 75
F for heating and 70 F for cooling satisfies the require- ment of
Sections 503.7(a) and 603.3(a) of the code. The language of
these sections does not prevent the use of thermo- stats withawiderheatingandcoolingrangesolongasitiscapableof
being set at 75 F for heating and 70 F for cooling. Thus, a
thermostat with a range of 84 F for heating and 50 F for cooling
is capable of being set at a maximum of 75 F for heating and
a minimum of 70 F for cooling. 4. Question:
On the front page of the 800 and 900 forms, what do the
terms "Jurisdiction", "Jurisdiction Code", and "Common Roof" mean?
Answer: "Jurisdiction"
means the name of the city or county having jurisdiction
over the building site. "Jurisdiction Code" means
the zip code for the building site. "Common Roof" should be "
common ceiling". These items will be corrected by the Governor'
s Energy Office when the forms are reprinted.

5.uestion: Section 107 of the code requires that owners of allQ
birlld nlgsmustcertifycompliancepriortoreceivingpermits.
Can an owner's authorized agent or representative provide this
certification in the owner's behalf?
Answer: Yes, for the same reason that owner's agents have
been authorized to pull building permits i.n the past`
6. Question: Can a local building department require that a
specific method such as Chapter 5 or Chapter,9 be used to
determine compliance?
Answer: No. Owners may use Chapter 4, 5, 6, 8'or 9 at their
discretion if applicable to the building under construction.
Local governments may not dictate which method can be used
to comply. If the building complies under any method authorized
in the code, it must be accepted.
7. Question: Can less than R-3 insulation be used in exterior
concrete block walls under Chapter 9, and if so, what multi-
pliers are to be used?
Answer: Although it's not encouraged, less than R-3 can be
used. The multipliers are as follows:

8. Question: Chapter 80-163, Laws of Florida (Section 553.909
1), F.S.) requires that all water heaters sold for residential
use after October 1, 1980, be installed with a heat trap.
What constitutes a heat trap?
Answer: A heat trap as specified above is defined as a device
designed to prevent the convection of heat from a hot water
ank through the hot water distribution line. Such devices
VJ should consist of a downward bend in the hot water distribution
line located as close as practical to the water heater outlet.
Such bends or loops should drop at least 3Y' for effective
operation. Configurations may be as follows:

f 9. Question: Chapter 80-163, Laws of Florida, also requires 24
hour timers for water .heaters which exceed a standby loss of
more--•than•ww4T U—watt•s-•per-square, -foot-of-tank-surf-ace-are
Isn't this in conflict with the requirements of Section 504.2
of "-thy En6r'gy kCode` _- " cfi`"~requires 'a "standby I'os's nt t tc
exceed 4.0 watts per square foot?
Answer: Yes. The requirements of Section 504.2 of the Energy_
Code have been designed to be in alignment with the BEPS
program currently under development by -the Federal Department
of Energy. Those contained in Chapter 80-163 apparently were
not. Because of this and the general rule that where two
conflicting requirements exist the more stringent of the two
should apply, it is our opinion that the 24 hour timer require-
ment will be preempted by the Federal Standards and, consequent-
ly, the Florida Model Energy Code since it is designed to meet.
those standards. Thus, it is our conclusion that the require-
ments of Section 504.2(a)l of the Energy Code should prevail.
10. Question: Where can I get copies of the code, forms and
ins` truction booklets?
Answer: For the time being the codes can be obtained from the
Department of Community Affairs for $4.00 each. Send check
or money order to the Department of Community Affairs at
2571 Executive Center Circle, East, Tallahassee, Florida 32301.

available through the Department of Conmiunity Affairs.
11. -Question: Are photocopies of thc, 800 and 900 forms permitted?
Answer: Yes, in the absence of printed forms. Of course,
photocopies are encouraged fir rough calculations to conserve
on printed forms.
12. Question: Who should I call for interpretations or clarifi-
cations of requirements contained in the State Energy Code?
3 Answer: Call Jack Haslam or AlOutlaw, Department of
Community Affairs, Code and Standards Section at (904)488-3581.
13. Question: Can reflective film be considered as tinted glass?
Answer: No. Reflection film does work well to conserve
energy but only permanent tint can be accepted for credit
points.

14. Question: If a building does pass under Section 5, how does
a builder complete forms 900/901 and form 800?

Question: The equation for interpolation or insulation values
will not work. What shall I do? 16.

The correct formula is as follows: PC =

Rb Question:
In residential buildings that are heated and not air
conditioned, what cooling system multiplier should I use? Answer:
Use one (1) as CSM because EER of 6.8 is the lowest
permitted and one (1) has been assigned multiplier for

17. Question: The Code refers to EER's for electric cooling
equipment, but the forms show SEER. What to do?
Answer: The Model Energy Efficienty Code For Building
Construction mandates an EER rating of 6.8 for equipment
under 65,000 Btu/h and 7.5 for equipment 65,000 Btu/h and
above. Form 900/901 block 9B shows SEER. An attempt was
made earlier this year to resolve the EER/SEER problem.
An acceptable solution could not be found so in the mean-
time -the State will accept either description. The EER
can be determined by the following formula:

On the front page of the 800 and 900 forms, what do the
terms "Jurisdiction", "Jurisdiction Code", and "Common Roof" mean?
Answer: "Jurisdiction
means the name of the city or,county awing jurisdiction
over the building site. "Jurisdiction Code" means
the zip code for the building site. "Common Roof" should be "
common ceiling". These items will be corrected by the Governor'
s Energy Office when the forms are reprinted.

5. )Question: Section 107 of the code requires that owners of all
t buildings must certify compliance prior to receiving permits.
i,....= Can an owner's authorized agent or .representative provide this }
certification in the owner's behalf?
Answer: Yes, for the same reason that.owner's agents have
been —authorized to pull building permits in the
6. Question: Can a local building department require that a
L specific method such as Chapter 5 or Chapterr9 be used to
determine compliance?
Answer: No. Owners may use Chapter 4, 5, 6, 8;or 9 at their
discretion if applicable to the building under construction.
Local governments may not dictate which method can be used
to comply. If the building complies under any method authorized
in the code, it must be accepted.
7. Question: Can less than R-3 insulation be used in exterior
concrete block walls under Chapter 9, and if so, what multi-
pliers are to be used?
Answer: Although it's not encouraged, less than R-3 can be
used. The multipliers are as follows:

8. Question: Chapter 80-163, Laws of Florida (Section 553.909
1), F.S.) requires that all water Beaters sold for residential
use after. October 1, 1980, be installed with a heat trap.
What constitutes a heat trap?
Answer: A heat trap as specified above is defined as a device
designed to prevent the convection of heat from a hot water
ank through the hot water distribution line. Such devices
should consist of a downward bend in the hot water distribution
line located as close as practical to the water heater outlet.
Such bends or loops should drop at least 3Y' for effective
operation. Configurations may be as follows:

hour timers for water heaters which exceed a standby loss.of

exceed 4.0 watts per square foot?
Answer: Yes. The requirements of Section 504.2 of the Energy
Code have been designed to be in alignment with the BEPS
program currently under development by the Federal Department
of Energy. Those contained in Chapter 80-163 apparently were
not. Because of this and the general rule that where two
conflicting requirements exist the more stringent of the two
should apply, it is our opinion that the 24 hour timer require-
ment will be preempted by the Federal Standards and, consequent-
ly, the Florida Model Energy Code since it is designed to meet
those standards. Thus, it is our conclusion that the require-
ments of Section 504.2(a)1 of the Energy Code should prevail.
10. Question: Where can I get copies of the code, forms and
instruction booklets?
Answer: For the time being the codes can be obtained from the
Department of Community Affairs for $4.00 each. Send check
or money order to the Department of Community Affairs at
2571 Executive Center Circle, East, Tallahassee, Florida 32301.

available through the Department of. Conununity Affairs.
11. -Question: Are photocopies of the 800 and 900 forms permitted?
Answer: Yes, in the absence of printed forms. Of course,
photocopies are encouraged fir rough calculations to conserve
on printed forms.
12. Question: Who should I call for interpretations or clarifi-
cations of requirements contained in the State Energy Code?
Answer: Call Jack Haslam or Al Outlaw, Department of
Community Affairs, Code and Standards Section at (904)488-3581.
13. Question: Can reflective film be considered as tinted glass?~
Answer: No. Reflection film does work well to conserve

17. Question: The Code refers to E'E'R's for electric cooling
equipment, but the forms show SEER. What to do?
Answer: The Model Energy Efficienty Code ['or Building
Construction mandates an FER rating of 6.8 for equipment
under 65,000 Btu/h and 7.5 for equipment 65,000 Btu/h and
above. Form 900/901 block, 9B shows SEER. An attempt was
made earlier this year to resolve the EER/SEER problem.
An acceptable solution could not be found so in the mean-
time the State will accept either description. The EER
can be determined by the following formula:
EER=Cooling Mode COPx3.413=ARI
