2026 Florida energy code changes

The 2026 Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation changes are coming, and they may significantly impact residential projects currently in design, permitting, or planning for late 2026 and 2027.

For builders, developers, architects, and project teams, now is the time to start paying attention.

Changes to energy compliance, testing requirements, compliance tools, and performance-path stringency could affect design decisions, HVAC coordination, documentation, permitting strategy, and project timelines.

The best time to review potential impacts is before projects are too far along to make cost-effective adjustments.

RunBrook is helping Florida residential project teams prepare early, identify potential compliance risks, and keep projects moving with confidence.
