MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS -(Continued)
R402.4.4 Rooms containing fuel -burning appliances In Climate Zones 3 through 8, where open combustion air ducts provide combustion air to
open combustion fuel burning appliances, the appliances and combustion air opening shall be located outside the building thermal envelope or
enclosed in a room, isolated from inside the thermal envelope. Such rooms shall be sealed and insulated in accordance with the envelope requirements
of Table R402.1.2, where the walls, floors and ceilings shall meet not less than the basement wall R-value requirement. The door into the room shall be
fully gasketed and any water lines and ducts in the room insulated in accordance with Section R403. The combustion air duct shall be insulated where it
passes through conditioned space to a minimum of R-8.
Exceptions:
1. Direct vent apliances with both intake and exhaust pipes installed continuous to the outside.
2. Fireplaces and stoves complying with Section R402.4.2 and Section R1006 of the Florida Building Code, Residential.
❑ R402.4.5 Recessed lighting. Recessed luminaires installed in the building thermal envelope shall be sealed to limit air leakage
between conditioned and unconditioned spaces. All recessed luminaires shall be IC -rated and labeled as having an air leakage rate not
more than 2.0 cfm (0.944 L/s) when tested in accordance with ASTM E283 at a 1.57 psf (75 Pa) pressure differential. All recessed
luminaires shall be sealed with a gasket or caulk between the housing and the interior wall or ceiling covering.
SECTION R403 SYSTEMS
R403.1 Controls
R403.1.1 Thermostat provision (Mandatory). At least one thermostat shall be provided for each separate heating and cooling system.
R403.1.3 Heat pump supplementary heat (Mandatory). Heat pumps having supplementary electric -resistance heat shall have controls
that, except during defrost, prevent supplemental heat operation when the heat pump compressor can meet the heating load.

for air distribution systems shall be considered ducts and plenum chambers, shall be constructed and sealed in accordance with Section
C403.2.9.2 of the Commercial Provisions of this code and shall be shown to meet duct tightness criteria below.
Duct tightness shall be verified by testing in accordance with ANSI/RESNET/ICC 380 by either individuals as defined in Section 553.993(5) or (7),
Florida Statutes, or individuals licensed as set forth in Section 489.105(3)(f), (g), or (i), Florida Statutes, to be "substantially leak free" in
accordance with Section R403.3.3.
R403.3.2.1 Sealed air handler. Air handlers shall have a manufacturers designation for an air leakage of no more than 2 percent
of the design air flow rate when tested in accordance with ASHRAE 193.
R403.3.3 Duct testing. Ducts shall be pressure tested to determine air leakage by one of the following methods:
1. Rough -in test: Total leakage shall be measured with a pressure differential of 0.1 inch w.g. (25 Pa) across the system, including the
manufacturer's air handler enclosure if installed at the time of the test. All registers shall be taped or otherwise sealed during the test.
2. Post construction test: Total leakage shall be measured with a pressure differential of 0.1 inch w.g. (25 Pa) across the
entire system, including the manufacturer's air handler enclosure. All registers shall be taped or otherwise sealed during the test.
Exceptions:
1. A duct leakage test shall not be required where the ducts and air handlers are located entirely within the building thermal envelope.
2. Duct testing is not mandatory for buildings complying by Section 405 of this code.
A written report of the results of the test shall be signed by the party conducting the test and provided to the code official.

shall be dedicated return pipe or a cold water supply pipe. Gravity and thermosiphon circulation systems shall be prohibited.
Controls for circulating hot water system pumps shall start the pump based on the identification of a demand for how water within the
occupancy. The controls shall automatically turn off the pump when the water in the circulation loop is at the desired temperature and
when there is no demand for hot water.
R403.5.1.2 Heat trace systems. Electric heat trace systems shall comply with IEEE 515.1 or UL 515. Controls for such systems
shall automatically adjust the energy input to the heat tracing to maintain the desired water temperature in the piping in accordance
