Kim,
This only applies to Government buildings as it is stated in the statue. But all building types still need to meet the new energy code that has been released with all the new supplements.
I hope this helps,

Subject: [Florida Code Talk] VERIFICATION OF 255.2575 CHAP. 2 (ENERGY-EFFICIANT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS

 255.2575.2     Reads:
All county, municipal, school district, water management district, state university, community college, and Florida state court buildings shall be constructed to meet the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, the Green Building initiative's Green Globes rating system, the Florida Green Building Coalition standards, or a nationally recognized, high-performance green building rating system as approved by the Department of Management Services.  This section shall apply to all county, municipal, school district, water management district, state university, community college, and Florida state court buildings the architectural plans of which are commenced after July 1, 2008.

Need to know if anyone can tell me if this applies to every building or just state, county, municipal and federal buildings.
I need to know as soon as possible.
Thanks so much for your help.
