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/RESNETIICC 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(5) or (7), Florida Statutes, or individuals licensed as set forth in Section 489.105(3)(0, (g) or (i) 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 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.
6. Supply and return registers, if installed at the time of the test, shall be fully open.
R402.4.2 Fireplaces. New wood -burning fireplaces shall have tight -fitting flue dampers or doors, and outdoor combustion air. Where
using tight -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 907.
R402.4.3 Fenestration air Ieakage.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
AAMA/ WDMAICSA 101/I.8.2/A440 by an accredited, independent laboratory and listed and labeled by the manufacturer.
Exception: Site -built windows, skylights and doors.

MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS - (Continued)
❑R403.7.1.1 Cooling equipment capacity. Cooling only equipment shall be selected so that its total capacity is not less
than the calculated total load but not more than 1.15 times greater than the total load calculated according to the procedure selected in
Section 403.17, or the closest available size provided by the manufacturer's product lines. The corresponding latent capacity of the
equipment shall not be less than the calculated latent load.
The published value for AHRI total capacity is a nominal, rating -test value and shall not be used for equipment sizing. Manufacturers
expanded performance data shall be used to select cooling -only equipment. This selection shall be based on the outdoor design dry-bulb
temperature Ifor the load calculation (or entering water temperature for water -source equipment), the blower CFM provided by the expanded
performancd data, the design value for entering wet -bulb temperature and the design value for entering dry-bulb temperature.
Design value, s for entering wet -bulb and dry-bulb temperatures 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 unconditioned space.
Exceptions:
