Sheesh, sounds  like a pile of B.S. to me!

Dear List,

I contacted the Department in Florida regarding our building codes not
requiring humidifiers in HVAC systems.  The codes in Florida contain max RH
levels, but not minimum RH levels.   I received the following response:



Mr. Maret:

This is a followup to our conversation about his issue of humidity in
certain types of buildings under winter conditions.  As I mentioned, anyone
can propose  a change to the Code, but a code change cycle is not open at
this time. For information on how to propose a code change go to the
following web address:  http://www.floridabuilding.org/cm/cm_faq.aspx.  As
you will see, we are currently 2/3 of the way through the process to put a
"2010" code in place by the end of 2011. The next cycle should open in early
2013.  I also mentioned that you or any association you belong to probably
should get involved in the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and
Air-conditioning Engineers (ashrae.org) and/or International Code Council
(iccsafe.org) update processes. These are the base documents that Florida's
code relies on for updates.  Again, if I can be of further assistance, I can
be reached at (850) 488-0964.
