Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation, 6th Edition (2017)
ADDRESS: 20806 Glades Cut Off Rd
Port St Lucie , FL , 34987
Permit Number:
The building official shall require that an energy performance 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 Statutes) requires the EPL display card to be included as an addendum to each sales contract for both presold and nonpresold
