Petitioner, Joe Belcher, presented to the committees, a request for declaratory statement which requests

clarification regarding the prospective application of Section 102.1 and 102.4 as they relate to the installation of

receptacle outlets in Category I, II, and III sunrooms as specified by the Florida Building Code and AAMA

2100.

Staff provided a full analysis and the TAC discussed the request taking the following action:

DCA09-DEC-351 by Joseph Belcher, Code Consultant

Admin TAC: Vote: 6/2

Question: In the case of sunrooms attached to single family dwellings, do the provisions of AAMA 2100 related to receptacle outlets prevail?

Answer: Yes. AAMA 2100 is more specific than NFPA 70 with regard to the definition of sunrooms and the placement of receptacle outlets, and therefore in according to Section 102.1 of the FBC, Building, AAMA 2100's provisions prevail over NFPA 70 with regard to the subject in question.

3. Review and provide recommendations to the Commission on overlapping Florida-specific existing building code as integrated into the 2009 International Existing Building Code.

Having previously reviewed all related documentation and holding a brief discussion, Motion was made to accept the recommendations provided by staff to use Chapter 14 of the 2009 International Existing Building Code as the base chapter for the 2010 FBC, Existing.

Vote taken: Motion passed unanimously.
