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 code complianos for the building. A copy of the EPL display card can be found in Appendix RD.
R402A Air leakage (Mandatory). The building thermal envelope shall be constructed to limit air leakage in accordance with the requirements of
Sections R402.4.1 through R402.4.5.
Exception: Dwelling units of R-2 Occupancies and multiple attached single family dwellings shall be permitted to
comply with Section C402.5.

R402.4,1.1 Insmilation.The components of the building thermal envelope as listed in Table R402.4.1.1 shall be installed in accordance
witti the manufacturer's instructions and the criteria listed in Table R402.4.1.1, 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 not exceeding seven air
changes per hour in Climate Zones 1 and 2, and three air changes per hour in Climate Zones 3 through 8. Testing shall be conducted in
accordance with ANSI/RESNET/ICC 380 and reported at a pressure of 0.2 inch w.g. (50 pascals). Testing shall be conducted by either
individuals as defined in Section 553.993(b) or (7), Florida Statutes, or individuals licensed as set forth in Section 489.105(3)(f), (g) or () or
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.
Exception: Testing is not required for additions, alterations, renovations, or repairs, of the building thermal envelope of existing
buildings in which the new construction is less than 85 percent of the building thermal envelope.
During testing:
1. Exterior windows and doors, fireplace and stove doors shall be dosed, but not sealed, beyond the intended weatherstrip
other infiltration control measures. ping or
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 dosed and sealed.
5. Heating and cooling systems, If installed at the time of the test, shall be turned off.
6. Supply and return registers, if installed at the time of the test, shall be fully open.
R402.4.2 Fireplaces. New wood-buming fireplaces shall have tight -fitting flue dampers or doors, and outdoor combustion air. Where
using fight -fitting doors on factory -built fireplaces listed and labeled in accordance with UL 127, the doors shall be tested and listed for the
fireplace. Where using tight -fitting doors on masonry fireplaces, the doors shall be listed and labeled in accordance with UL 967.
R402.4.3 Fenestration air leakage -Windows, skylights and sliding glass doors shall have an air infiltration rate of no more then 0.3 cfm per
square foot (1.5 Lfa/m2), and swinging doors no more than 0.5 cfm per square foot (2.6 L/s/m2), when tested according to NFRC 400 or
AAMA/ WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 by an accredited, Independent laboratory and listed and labeled by the manufacturer.
