Reminder and update

 

Florida Building Commission "the Commission"

 

2010 Update to the Florida Building Code:

 

The following Technical Advisory Committees will be meeting at the
December meeting of the Florida Building Commission to be held on
December 7 - 10, 2009, at the Rosen Centre Hotel in Orlando, Florida:

            

Structural Technical Advisory Committee; December 7, 2009 at 8:00 a.m.

Mechanical Technical Advisory Committee; December 8, 2009 at 8:00 a.m.

Plumbing Technical Advisory Committee; December 8, 2009 at 10 a.m.

Roofing Technical Advisory Committee; December 10, 2009 at 8 a.m.

 

The purpose of the meetings is to review Florida-specific criteria as
integrated into the 2009 International Codes (I - Codes) base documents,
and to determine if those criteria are covered by changes to the
relevant I Codes.  Separate documents containing the integrated
Florida-specific changes and detailing any potential code conflicts
"Overlapping Requirements" with staff recommendations are now available
from the agenda of each TAC posted on the December Commission agenda at
the link below.   Without a change to the base codes, Florida-specific
criteria will prevail unless someone proposes a code change during the
upcoming code change cycle that will result in the 2010 Florida Building
Code, projected to go into effective in 2012. The same will be true for
new requirements of the 2009 I codes: said requirements will prevail
unless a code change is proposed and approved by the Commission.  The
code change cycle will open on March 1, 2010, with an online code change
proposal submittal form at  <http://www.floridabuilding.org/>
www.floridabuilding.org.  Impacted parties should become educated on the
provisions of the 2009 I codes before then and be ready to propose any
necessary changes prior to April 1, 2010, when the cycle will close.
Please note that staff recommendation regarding the "Overlapping
Requirements" will be available from the link below late this month. 

 

For the same purpose stated above, the following TACs will also meet as
follows:
