FSEC Energy Research Center®

This report provides a comparison between the 7th Edition (2020) Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation (FBC-EC) and 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), based on approved 2018 to 2021 IECC changes included in the International Code Council's Complete Revision History to the 2021 I-Codes document. The first part of this study involved developing code change listings based on the Revision History document that identify changes that have potential energy and cost impacts. This second part of the study provides a stringency evaluation and cost-benefit analysis for those changes that impact energy use, to provide guidance for the upcoming 2020 FBC-EC …

Comparison Of The Commercial Provisions Of The 2020 Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation, 7th Edition With 2021 Iecc & Ashrae 90.1-2019, Florida Solar Energy Center, Bereket Nigusse

FSEC Energy Research Center®

This report provides comparison of the commercial provisions of the 7th Edition (2020) Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation (FBC-EC) with the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and ASHREA 90.1-2019. The first part developed code changes listing identifying energy and construction cost impacts. The second part analyzed energy and energy cost savings potential of the 2021 IECC and the 2019 ASHRAE 90.1 compared to the 2020 FBC-EC using prototype buildings energy model and simulation. And performed cost-benefit analysis of code changes with energy impact and provided recommendation for consideration by Florida Building Commission for addition to the 8th Edition (2023) …
