This code establishes the minimum requirements for energy efficiency in new building construction within Florida. It is based on the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and is designed to ensure that buildings are constructed to conserve energy, reduce environmental impact, and lower utility costs for occupants.

This publication serves as the official standard for energy conservation in Florida building construction. As a code-based document, its reception is primarily measured by its adoption and enforcement by regulatory bodies and its utility to architects, engineers, contractors, and building officials. The inclusion of chapter tabs enhances its practical usability for professionals needing to quickly access specific sections of the code.
