Post -construction test: Total leakage shall be less than or equal to 4 cfm (113 Umin) per 100 square feetl(9.29 m2) of conditioned floor area
when tested at a pressure differential of 0.1 inches w.g. (25 Pa) across the entire system, including the manufacturer's air handler enclosure. All
register boots shall be taped or otherwise sealed during the test. l
2. Rough -in test: Total leakage shall be less than or equal to 4 cfm (113 Umin) per 100 square feet (9.29 m2) of conditioned floor area when tested
at a pressure differential of 0.1 inches w.g. (25Pa) across the system, including the manufacturer's air handler enclosure. All registers shall be
taped or otherwise sealed during the test. If the air handler is not installed at the time of the test, total leakage shall be less than or equal to 3 cfm
(85 Umin) per 100 square feet (9.29 m2) of conditioned floor area.
Exceptions: Im
1. The total leakage test is not required for ducts and air handlers located entirely within the bull g el e.
2. Duct testing is not mandatory for buildings complying by Section R405 of this code. Copy

O R403.6.1.1 Cooling equipment capacity. (continued) The published value for AHRI total capacity Iis a nominal, rating -test value and
shall not be used for equipment sizing. Manufacture's expanded performance data shall be used to select cooling -only equipment. This
selection shall be used to select cooling -only equipment. This selection shall be based on the outdoor design dry bulb temperature for the
load calculation (or entering water temperature for water -source equipment), the blower cfm provided by the expanded performance data,
the design value for entering wet bulb temperature and the design value for entering dry bulb temperature.
Design values for entering wet bulb and dry bulb temperature shall be for the indoor dry bulb and relative humidity used for the load
calculation and shall be adjusted for return side gains if the return duct(s) is installed in an unconditioneId space.
Exceptions:
1. Attached single- and multi -family residential equipment sizing may be selected so that its cooling capacity is less than the
calculated total sensible load but not less than 80 percent of that load.
2. When signed and sealed by a Florida -registered engineer, in attached single- and multi -family units, the capacity of
equipment may be sized in accordance with good design practice.
o R403.6.1.2 Heating equipment capacity
• R403.6.1.2.1 Heat pumps. Heat pumps sizing shall be based on the cooling requirements as calculated according to Section
R403.6.1.1 and the heat pump total cooling capacity shall not be more than 1.15 times greater titan the design cooling load.
• R403.6.1.2.2 Electric resistance furnaces. Electric resistance furnaces shall be sized within 4 kW of the design
requirements calculated according to the procedure selected in Section R403.6.1.
• R403.6.1.2.3 Fossil fuel heating equipment. The capacity of fossil fuel heating equipment with natural draft atmospheric burners
shall not be less than the design load calculated in accordance with Section R403.6.I.
o R403.6.1.3 Extra capacity required for special occasions. Residences requiring excess cooling or heating equipment capacity on an
intermittent basis, such as anticipated additional loads caused by major entertainment events, shall have equipment sized or controlled to
prevent continuous space cooling or heating within that space by one or more of the following options:
1. A separate cooling or heating system is utilized to provide -cooling or heating to the major entertainment areas.
2. A variable capacity system sized for optimum performance during base load periods is utilized.
R403.7 Systems serving multiple dwelling units (Mandatory). Systems serving multiple dwelling units shall comply with Sections
C403 and C404 of the Commercial Provisions in lieu of Section R403.
R403.8 Snow melt system controls (Mandatory). Snow and ice -melting systems, supplied through energylservice to the building, shall
include automatic controls capable of shutting off the system when the pavement temperature is above 55°F, and no precipitation is falling
and an automatic or manual control that will allow shutoff when the outdoor temperature is above 40°F.
R403.9 Swimming pools, inground spas and portable spas (Mandatory). The energy requirements for residential pools and
inground spas shall be as specified in Sections R403.9.1 through R403.9.3 and in accordance with ANSI/APSPI 15. The energy
requirements for portable spas shall be in accordance with ANSI/APSP-14.
p R403.9.1 Pool and spa heaters. All pool heaters shall be equipped with a readily accessible on -off switch that is mounted
outside the heater to allow shutting off the heater without adjusting the thermostat setting.
R403.9.1.1 Gas and oil -fired pool and spa heaters. All gas- and oil -fired pool and space h,'eaters shall have a minimum
thermal efficiency of 82 percent for heaters manufactured on or after April 16, 2013 when tested in accordance with ANSI Z 21.56.
Pool heaters fired by natural gas or LP gas shall not have continuously burning pilot lights.
• R403.9.1.2 Heat pump pool heaters. Heat pump pool heaters shall have a minimum COP of 4.0 when tested in accordance
with AHR11160, Table 2, Standard Rating Conditions -Low Air Temperature. A test report from Ian independent laboratory is
required to verify procedure compliance. Geothermal swimming pool heat pumps are not required to meet this standard.
p R403.9.2 Time switches. Time switches or other control method that can automatically turn off and on heaters and pumps according to a
preset schedule shall be installed on all heaters and pumps. Heaters, pumps and motors that have built in timers shall be deemed in
compliance with this equipment.
Exceptions:
• 1. Where public health standards require 24-hour pump operations.
2. Where pumps are required to operate solar- and waste -heat -recovery pool heating
3. Where pumps are powered exclusively from on -site renewable generation.
p R403.9.3 Covers. Heated swimming pools and inground permanently installed spas shall be equ
at the water surface or a liquid cover or other means proven to reduce heat loss.
Exception: Outdoor pools deriving over 70 percent of the energy for heating from site-rec
solar energy source computed over an operating season.
