Program Overview

The Building Energy Efficiency Rating System program establishes and updates a rating system that allows Florida homebuyers to compare energy efficiency of homes on the market and to assess the energy efficiency of commercial use buildings. The training and administrative oversight of this program is privatized through these efforts. The goals of the Building Energy Efficiency Rating System program are to respond to requests for clarification on the Building Energy Efficiency Rating System, continue to maintain the Building Energy Efficiency Rating System training and certification program, update the system for maintaining consistency with the National Home Energy Rating System and the Florida Building Code and privatize the administrative function of the Building Energy Efficiency Rating System. You may download the full text of the proposed Rule 9B-60, Florida Administrative Code for the Florida Building Energy Rating System in Word Perfect format. [Downloadable 9B_60.zip file; Size 14.7k] For additional information about the Building Energy Efficiency Rating System, please contact the Florida Solar Energy Center at (321) 638-1492 or fax (321)-638-1010.
