2026 FLORIDA ENERGY CODE

What Residential Teams Should Know Now

Important changes are coming. Here are 3 areas to review before the new code takes effect.

1

Duct Testing

More projects will require duct testing depending on system and duct location.

2

Ventilation Testing

Mechanical ventilation and some exhaust systems may need added testing or documentation.

3

Compliance Path

Teams that rely on REScheck may need a different Florida energy compliance approach.


What to review now

  • Active projects and upcoming starts

  • Standard plans/models still in use

  • Duct, air handler, and ventilation strategy

  • Energy compliance assumptions


Have projects planned for late 2026 or 2027?
