About this file
This document is an energy compliance report for the Nature Creek project at Kellogg Park, prepared using EnergyGauge Summit® software for the Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023) Energy Conservation requirements. The report covers a 1,505 square foot retail building located on East Nursery Road in Santa Rosa Beach, Walton County, Florida, and demonstrates compliance with the Florida Energy Code through a total building performance compliance option (C407).
The energy analysis shows the building's proposed design meets the energy efficiency standards, with a gross energy cost of $484 compared to the baseline of $741, representing a 55.5% reduction. The report includes detailed documentation of the building's envelope, lighting controls, HVAC systems, and other energy-related components. Key compliance elements include efficient windows (meeting fenestration requirements), LED lighting with occupancy sensors, a constant volume air-cooled split system with 15.60 cooling efficiency, and appropriate insulation for walls, roof, and floors. The project is certified by multiple professionals, including an engineer, architect, and various system designers, and demonstrates compliance across multiple energy conservation categories.
