This handbook is designed to provide up to date information for building energy efficient homes in Florida's hot humid climate. Individual chapters focus on various aspects of residential construction, such as: insulation, windows, lighting, air conditioning and duct systems. Many other topics are described in detail, and, references to the new Florida Building Code are made in key areas. This edition of the handbook (2009) is the third edition printed since the Florida Legislature amended Chapter 553, Florida Statutes, Building Construction Standards to create a single state building code. It has been updated to reflect the 2009 Supplement to the Florida Building Code, referred to throughout this publication as either the Florida Building Code or the FBC.
