July 3, 2014: ASHRAE bEQ Program Qualifies for Florida Rating System under Energy Bill
The Provisions in the Bill Amend a 2013 Florida Law
ATLANTA — Under amended Florida legislation, ASHRAE’s building energy rating and labeling program known as Building Energy Quotient (bEQ) now qualifies as an energy rating option for buildings in the state of Florida.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed House Bill 7147, which qualifies the bEQ program as an approved system. The provisions in the bill amend a 2013 Florida law specifying requirements for energy ratings for all residential, commercial, and state-owned buildings.
