About this file
This is an Energy Conservation Compliance Report prepared by Watford Engineering for the City of Milton, Florida, documenting compliance with the Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023) for a renovation project involving a new 870-square-foot classroom addition at 6794 Dixon Street in Milton, Santa Rosa County, Florida. The project, classified as a School/University renovation to an existing building, underwent energy compliance evaluation using the ASHRAE Energy Cost Budget Option methodology with EnergyGauge Summit Fla/Com-2023 software, effective December 31, 2023. The compliance analysis assessed the proposed building design against baseline energy cost requirements, comparing a proposed building energy cost of $722 against a baseline cost of $726, resulting in a passing compliance status at 99.4% of baseline requirements. The report documents compliance across multiple system categories including lighting controls, HVAC systems, air distribution, piping systems, and fenestration, with detailed component specifications for a constant volume air-cooled single package HVAC system with 48,470 Btu/hr cooling capacity and 48,850 Btu/hr heating capacity serving the 1,500 cfm supply air handler.
The compliance report includes comprehensive certification documentation signed by design professionals from Watford Engineering (Mechanical, Plumbing, and Electrical) and architect Goodwin Mills Cawood, along with certifications from the project prepared by Steven Day, PE, dated August 12, 2025. The mandatory requirements checklist addresses builder envelope insulation, fenestration standards, air leakage controls, HVAC system specifications, controls and thermostats, water heating systems, piping insulation, interior and exterior lighting power requirements, and equipment efficiency standards. All lighting controls in the 870-square-foot classroom space comply with requirements through manual local control supplemented by occupancy sensors and light reduction capabilities. The report confirms that below-grade wall insulation, slab-on-grade insulation, roof insulation, above-grade wall insulation, and floor insulation specifications are consistent with plan requirements, with all installation requirements meeting manufacturer specifications and protection standards.
