Abstract

This study provides a comparison between the 6th Edition (2017) Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation and 2018 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), based on approved 2015 to 2018 IECC changes included in the International Code document. And provides a stringency evaluation and cost-benefit analysis for those changes that impact energy use, to provide guidance for the upcoming 2017 to 2020 Florida Energy Code change cycle.
