Considered,
discussed and made recommendations on the following Declaratory Statement: TAC Action: 1.) Does the use of a
mini-split or other equipment that is listed as an A/C unit or heat pump that
has a dehumidification mode and a promised to only run in the dehumidication
mode exempt the reclassification of a Category I, II, or III sunroom to a IV
or V? Answer: The answer is No. As per sections
R301.2.1.1.2 of the 2010 Florida Building Code, Residential, a mini split
system that could provide cooling or heating to the sunroom would place the
room in category IV or V, depending on thermal isolation or lack thereof from
the primary structure. All applicable code requirements would
apply. To be exempt, the unit must comply with 2.) Does a
dehumidification mode and signed affidavit to only run the unit in
dehumification mode circumvent the listing & labeling intent and
circumvent all other application code requirement. Answer: See answer to question #1. |

2014 NEC for the benefit of the State of Florida was a viable option. It was determined that this would be needed
to be discussed at the next Electrical TAC meeting scheduled around October
