In Florida, new home construction in 2010 will require a 20% reduction in energy usage and new homes built in 2019 will require a 50% reduction in energy usage.

This legislation recently passed the legislature in Florida and was signed by Governor Crist. This new energy initiative for Florida exceeds the International Energy Conservation Code and builders in Florida will use a new sophisticated EnergyGauge computer modeling program to project the home’s seasonal energy usage against a efficient baseline home.

Good News for Florida and the USA!
