The Department intends to update Chapter 9B-60, F.A.C., concerning the BERS by adopting the current Mortgage Industry National Home Energy Rating Systems Standards, utilizing the same software used for energy code compliance (EnergyGauge USA for residential buildings and EnergyGauge Summit for commercial buildings) as rater tools, specifying that a Program Administrator shall represent the Department in implementing the BERS, changing some certification standards for raters and updating forms. The Department seeks public input on the need for additional changes to the rule.
