Existing Building & EnergyConservation: An AdvancedBuilding Code Courseo Economizers (prescriptive)Course Introductiono Water volume determinationThis 2 CE hour Existing Building & Energy Conservation:An Advanced Building Code Course discusses select changesin the 6th Edition of the Florida Building Code from theprevious 5th Edition of the Florida Building Code. Thiscourse focuses on changes made to the Existing BuildingCode as well as to the Energy Conservation Code. It isimportant to note that the Florida Building Code 5thEdition was based off of the 2012 International BuildingCode while the Florida Building Code 6th Edition is basedoff of the 2015 International Building Code. The FloridaBuilding Code 6th Edition replaced the Florida BuildingCode 5th Edition as of 12/31/2017.The following code changes will be covered in this course:Existing Building Chapter 4: Prescriptive Compliance Methodo Roof diaphragms resisting wind loads in high windregionso Replacement window emergency escape and rescueopenings Chapter 7: Alterations – Level 1o Window opening control deviceso Roof diaphragms resisting wind loads in high windregionso Roof secondary water barrier for site-built singlefamily residential structures Chapter 8: Alterations – Level 2o Fire-resistance ratingsEnergy Conservation Commercial Energy Efficiencyo Opaque Thermal Envelope Assembly MaximumRequirements, U-Factor Methodo Increased vertical fenestration area with daylightresponsive controlso Increased skylight area with daylight responsivecontrolso Air barrierso Vestibuleso Efficiency requirementso Zone isolationo Kitchen exhaust systemso Maximum Net Exhaust Flow Rate, CFM Per LinearFoot of Hood Length38 Advanced Building Codeo Efficient heated water supply pipingo Maximum allowable pipe length methodo Maximum allowable pipe volume methodo Piping Volume and Maximum Piping Lengthso Exceptional calculations methods Residential Energy Efficiencyo Glazed fenestration SHGCo Sunroom fenestrationo Testingo Ductso Compliance software tools (ERI ComplianceAlternative)The Existing Building & Energy Conservation: AdvancedBuilding Code Course is provided in accordance with therequirements of the Florida Department of Business andProfessional Regulation (DBPR) for the required AdvancedFlorida Building Code Module.This course is designed to cover some of the mostsignificant changes from the 5th Edition to the 6th Editionof the Code. However, this course does not cover everychange between the codes. Building professionals willhave their own areas of expertise making it essentialthat every architect, engineer, and contractor carefullystudy the code sections most affecting their professionalpractice.Disclaimer: This course is intended to give the readerinformation current at the time of publication.

Chapter 4:Prescriptive Compliance MethodSection 403: Alterations403.8 Roof diaphragms resisting wind loads in highwind regionsWhere the intended alteration requires a permit forreroofing and involves removal of roofing materialsfrom more than 50 percent of the roof diaphragm ofa building or section of a building located where theultimate design wind speed is greater than 115 mph (51m/s) in accordance with Figure 1609.3(1) of the FloridaBuilding Code, Building as defined in Section 1609 (theHVHZ shall comply with Section 1620) of the FloridaBuilding Code, Building, roof diaphragms, connections ofthe roof diaphragm to roof framing members, and roofto-wall connections shall be evaluated for the wind loadsspecified in Section 1609 of the Florida Building Code,Building, including wind uplift. If the diaphragms andconnections in their current condition are not capable ofresisting at least 75 percent of those wind loads, they shallbe replaced or strengthened in accordance with the loadsspecified in Section 1609 of the Florida Building Code,Building.Exceptions:1. This section does not apply to buildings permittedsubject to the Florida Building Code.2. This section does not apply to buildings permittedsubject to the 1991 Standard Building Code, orlater edition, or designed to the wind loadingrequirements of the ASCE 7-88 or later editions,where an evaluation is performed by a registereddesign professional to confirm the roof diaphragm,connections of the roof diaphragm to roof framingmembers, and roof-to-wall connections are incompliance with the wind loading requirements ofeither of these standards or later editions.3. Buildings with steel or concrete moment resistingframes shall only be required to have the roofdiaphragm panels and diaphragm connections toframing members evaluated for wind uplift.4. This section does not apply to site-built single-familydwellings. Site-built single-family dwellings shallcomply with Sections 706.7 and 706.8.5. This section does not apply to buildings permittedwithin the HVHZ after January 1, 1994 subject to the1994 South Florida Building Code, or later editions,or where the building’s wind design is based on thewind loading requirements of ASCE 7-88 or latereditions.Analysis of Code Change: A new section of the codethat requires the evaluation and potential retrofit of a roofdiaphragm, roof diaphragm connections, and roof-to-wallconnections where more than 50% of the roof coveringis removed. This requirement has existed for Level 1alterations, and it is now applicable to the prescriptivecompliance method. Five exceptions to this requirementare provided.
