Florida Building Code AI
AI for Florida Building Code compliance including hurricane requirements.
Definition
Florida Building Code AI helps analyze designs against Florida's stringent building code requirements, particularly for hurricane resistance. The Florida Building Code has unique wind load, impact resistance, and flood requirements. AI can identify Florida-specific requirements and ensure designs comply.
In Depth
The Florida Building Code is one of the most stringent in the country, driven by the state's hurricane exposure. The wind load requirements, missile impact resistance provisions for glazing and building envelope, and flood protection standards all exceed the base IBC requirements. AI compliance checking for Florida projects handles these state-specific provisions.
The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) provisions that apply in Miami-Dade and Broward counties are even more restrictive than the standard Florida Building Code, requiring product approvals through Miami-Dade's Notice of Acceptance (NOA) process. AI checks that specified products have the required NOA approvals, which is a common source of plan review comments when design teams unfamiliar with South Florida practice specify standard products that do not carry HVHZ approvals.
