Assessing IECC Energy Saving Potential for Residential Construction in Florida
Florida has become the third largest consumer of electricity in the United States. Its residential energy demand is about 1400 trillion BTU which is among the highest in the country. In an effort to reduce residential energy consumption, the State of Florida is conducting extensive efforts to improve the energy efficiency of existing building codes. One of the recent developments in this regard includes its decision to use more elements of the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) as the foundation. The aim of this paper is to study the energy savings potential of the proposed 2012 IECC for residential construction as compared to the current Florida Energy Efficiency Building Code (FEEBC). A baseline model of a single family house was developed using BIM and simulations were conducted using different geographical locations in Florida with varying number of cooling degree days. After performing the energy analyses of the model for the selected cities using FEECBC, it was modified based on the proposed IECC 2012. The two sets of analyses were then compared to check the impact of those modifications on the overall energy performance of the baseline model house in each selected city. This research further strengthens the idea that the recent advancements in BIM/Simulation technologies play an important role in energy efficieny decision making.
