What We Do

Florida Energy Calcs LLC provides completed calculations required in Florida Energy Conservation Code. We provide the following:

    • Commercial projects Form 506-2023

    • Manual N calculations for commercial projects

    • Residential projects Form 405-2023

    • Manual J calculations for residential projects

    • Manual D duct calculations for residential projects

We provide these calculations and the inputs as a PDF and then you can upload them to the building department.

Quick Facts About Florida Energy Code

Click here for the 8th Edition Florida Building Code online. The 8th Edition took affect December 31, 2023. 8th Edition is also referred to as the 2023 Code.

What is an "Energy Calc"?: If you are a contractor, architect, engineer, professional involved with the construction trade in the state of Florida you already know that all new construction projects must submit a completed Form 506-2023 or 405-2023 along with the signed & sealed drawings to the permit office. This meets the requirements of Florida Energy Conservation Code.

Does your project require an Energy Calc?: Projects that do not have air-conditioning or heating are exempt from being required to submit energy calculations. The project must not have provisions (or the potential) for future air conditioning.

The Code provides for a uniform standard of energy efficiency by, at a minimum, setting forth minimum requirements for exterior envelopes, lighting, electrical distribution, and selection of heating, lighting, ventilating, air conditioning and service water heating systems.

Paths to Energy Compliance?: There are two pathes to energy compliance in Florida.

    1) Perscriptive (no energy calc)

    2) Performance (i.e. an energy calc from us)

Perscriptive: Simply adhere to the requirements listed as mandatory and perscriptive for your project and it will be code compliant.

Performance: Gives more flexibility in design by preparing energy calcs to demonstrate that your project's design meets or exceeds the efficiency of the code-minimum design or baseline.
