Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation
Simulated Performance Alternative (Performance) Method
Applications for compliance with the 2014 Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation via the
residential Simulated Performance method shall include
❑ This checklist
❑ A Form R405 report that documents that the Proposed Design complies with Section
R405.3 of the Florida Energy Code. This form shall include a summary page
indicating home address, a -ratio and the pass or fail status along with summary
areas and types of components, whether the home was simulated as a worst -case
orientation, name and version of the compliance software tool, name of individual
completing the compliance report (1 page) and an input summary checklist that can
be used for field verification (usually 4 pages/may be greater).
❑ Energy Performance Level (EPL) Display Card (one page)
❑ Mandatory Requirements(three pages)
Required prior to CO for the Performance Method.
❑ Air Barrier and Insulation Inspection Component Criteria checklist (Table R402.4.1.1 -
one page)
❑ A completed Envelope Leakage Test Report(usually one page)
❑ if Form R405 duct leakage type indicates anything other than "default leakage`, then a completed
Form R405 Duct Leakage Test Report (usually one page)

Residential Whole Building Performance and Prescriptive Methods
ADDRESS: Permit Number.
,FL,
MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS See individual code sections for full details.
❑ 401.3 Energy Performance Level (EPL) display card (Mandatory). 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 Statues] requires the EPL display card to be included as an addendum to each sales contract for both presold and
nonpresold residential buildings. The EPL display card contains information indicating the energy performance level and efficiencies of components
installed in a dwelling unit. The building official shall verify that the EPL display card completed and signed by the builder accurately reflects the plans
and specifications submitted to demonstrate compliance for the building. A copy of the EPL display card can be found in Appendix C.
❑ R402.4 Air leakage (Mandatory). The building thermal envelope shall be constructed to limit air leakage in accordance with the requirements of
Sections R402.1 through R402.4.4.
O R402.4.1 Building thermal envelope. The building thermal envelope shall comply with Sections R402.4.1.1 and R402.4.1.2. The
sealing methods between dissimilar materials shall allow for differential expansion and contraction.
• R402.4.1.1 Installation. The components of the building thermal envelope as listed in Table R402.4.1.1 shall be installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and the criteria listed in Table 402.4.1.1. as applicable to the method of construction.
Where required by the code official, an approved third party shall inspect all components and verify compliance.
• R402.4.1.2 Testing. The building or dwelling unit shall be tested and verified as having an air leakage rate of not exceeding 5 air
changes per hour in Climate Zones 1 and 2, and 3 air changes per hour in Climate Zones 3 through 8. Testing shall be conducted with
a blower door at a pressure of 0.2 inches w.g. (50 Pascals). Where required by the code official, testing shall be conducted by an
approved third party. A written report of the results of the test shall be signed by the party conducting the test and provided to the code
official. Testing shall be performed at any time after creation of all penetrations of the building thermal envelope.
During testing:
1. Exterior windows and doors, fireplace and stove doors shall be closed, but not sealed, beyond the intended weatherstripping or
other infiltration control measures;
2. Dampers including exhaust, intake, makeup air, backdraft and flue dampers shall be closed, but not sealed beyond intended
infiltration control measures;
3. Interior doors, if installed at the time of the test, shall be open;
4. Exterior doors for continuous ventilation systems and heat recovery ventilators shall be closed and sealed;
5. Heating and cooling systems, if installed at the time of the test, shall be turned off; and
6. Supply and return registers, if installed at the time of the test, shall be fully open.
O R402.4.2 Fireplaces. New wood -burning fireplaces shall have tight -fitting flue dampers and outdoor combustion air.
O R402.4.3 Fenestration air leakage. Windows, skylights and sliding glass doors shall have an air infiltration rate of no more than 0.3 cfm
per square foot (1.5 Us/m2), and swinging doors no more than 0.5 cfm per square foot (2.6 Us/m2), when tested according to NFRC 400 or
AAMANVDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 by an accredited, independent laboratory and listed and labeled by the manufacturer.
Exception: Site -built windows, skylights and doors.
O R402.4.4 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 Us) when tested in accordance with ASTM E 283 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.
❑ 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.
❑ R403.2.2 Sealing (Mandatory)AII ducts, air handlers, and filter boxes and building cavities that form the primary air containment
passageways for air distribution systems shall be considered ducts and plenum chambers, shall be constructed and sealed in accordance
with Section C403.2.7.2 of the Commercial Provisions of this code and shall be shown to meet duct tightness criteria by post -construction
or rough -in testing below.
Duct tightness shall be verified by testing to Section 803 of the RESNET Standards by either an energy rater certified in accordance with Section
553.99, Florida Statutes, or as authorized by Florida Statutes, to be "substantially leak free" by either of the following:
1. Post -construction 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. (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.
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:
