R4.02 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 t�e manufacturers instructions and the criteria listed in Table R402.4.1.1, as applicable to the method of construction. Where required
by them code official, an approved third party shall inspect all components and verify compliance.
R40214.1.2 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
indivduals 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) 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
offici�l. Testing shall be performed at any time after creation of all penetrations of the building thermal envelope.
I
Exc0tion: 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. Da pers 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, shalt be open.
4. Exterior doors for contlnuous ventilation systems and heat recovery ventilators shall be closed and sealed.
5. He�ting 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.
R402A.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.
aR402.4.3 Fenestration air leakageYlindows, skylights and sliding glass doors shall have an air infiltration rate of no more than 0.3 cfm per
square footl(1.5 Uslm2), and swinging doors no more than 0.5 cfm per square foot (2.6 Us/m2), when tested according to NFRC 400 or
AAMA/ WD�WCSA 101/i.S.2/A440 by an accredited, independent laboratory and listed and labeled by the manufacturer.

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 R400.2, 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.
Excel tions:
1. Direct vent appliances 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 Us) when tested in accordance with ASTM E283 at a 1,57 psf (75 Pa) pressure differential. All recessed
luminaires shad 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 Neat pump supplementary heat (Mandatory). Heat pumps having supplementary electric -resistance heat shalt have controls
