2023 Florida Building Code - Mechanical, 8th Edition

The 2023 Florida Building Code – Mechanical, 8th Edition is published by the Florida Building Commission under the authority of the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) and is adopted statewide for mechanical system regulation. This code provides comprehensive standards for the design, installation, and maintenance of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in compliance with Florida’s Building Code framework. It integrates ASHRAE 62.1 and 90.1 energy standards, ensuring mechanical contractors, Class A and B air conditioning license holders, and sheet metal professionals meet DBPR licensing exam requirements. Used extensively in 1 Exam Prep’s mechanical contractor and HVAC license exam preparation courses, the text serves as a primary reference for state and county contractor testing across Florida. The 8th Edition supersedes the 7th Edition and reflects updates aligned with the 2021 International Mechanical Code (IMC) to maintain Florida’s compliance and safety standards.
