(17)(a)
The Florida Building Commission shall review the list of evaluation entities in

report required under s. 553.77, shall either recommend amendments to the list to add evaluation entities the
commission determines should be authorized
to perform product evaluations or shall
report on the criteria adopted by rule or to
be adopted by rule allowing the commission to approve evaluation entities that
use the commission's product evaluation process. If the commission adopts
criteria by rule, the rulemaking
process must be completed by July 1, 2009.”
HB
7153 Energy
Action
required:
1.
Increase
building efficiency requirements of the 2010 Florida Energy Efficiency Code for
Building Construction by 5% for the 2010 relative to the Code which takes
effect December 31, 2009.
2.
Identify
specific building options to achieve the energy efficiency improvements.
3.
Adopt by
rule a cost effectiveness test and apply to the energy efficiency improvements.
“Section 109. Section 553.9061, Florida Statutes, is created to read:
553.9061 Scheduled increases in thermal efficiency standards.--
(1) The purpose of this section is to establish a schedule of increases in the energy performance of buildings subject to the Florida Energy Efficiency Code for Building Construction. The Florida Building Commission shall:
(a) Include the necessary provisions by the 2010 edition of the Florida Energy Efficiency Code for Building Construction to increase the energy performance of new buildings by at least 20 percent as compared to the energy efficiency provisions of the 2007 Florida Building Code adopted October 31, 2007.
:
:
(2) The Florida Building Commission shall identify within code support and compliance documentation the specific building options and elements available to meet the energy performance goals established in subsection (1). Energy-efficiency performance options and elements include, but are not limited to:
(a) Solar water heating.
(b) Energy-efficient appliances.
(c) Energy-efficient windows, doors, and skylights.
(d) Low solar-absorption roofs, also known as "cool roofs."
(e) Enhanced ceiling and wall insulation.
(f) Reduced-leak duct systems.
(g) Programmable thermostats.
(h) Energy-efficient lighting systems.
(3) The Florida Building Commission shall, prior to implementing the goals established in subsection (1), adopt by rule and implement a cost-effectiveness test for proposed increases in energy efficiency. The cost-effectiveness test shall measure cost-effectiveness and shall ensure that energy efficiency increases result in a positive net financial impact.”

Wildlife Conservation Commission
b) Adopt a rule by chap 120 to preserve use of
gravel or stone roofing systems if the
above conditions cannot be determined and documented
o Review modifications 2151, 2152,
2153, and 2492 and determine based on public comment if there is a continuing
need for any Florida specific requirement of the Code the modifications seek to
repeal
o Adopt or modify the modifications by
chapter 120 only for inclusion in next edition of FBC
o Conduct
study to evaluate cost effective baseline for Florida Energy Code residential
