Major Changes: Version 8.1.02 is a minor update that includes bug fixes to the report for the 8th edition (2023) of the Florida Building Code, Energy Conservation that became effective December 31, 2023. Version 8.1.00 also updates version 8 to include approved calculations for ENERGY STAR 3.2 for single-family homes and ZERH Version 2 revision 1 in software that allows rating calculations. ZERH Version 2 revision 1 should be used for any homes applying for the $5000 tax credit that are permitted in 2024. Those ZERH homes will need to meet the requirements of ENERGY STAR 3.2.  Other features and bug fixes are described in the release notes.


Version 8.1.02 will not overwrite Version 7 (your building files will be saved in Documents/EnergyGaugeUSA7/Bldgs/Backup or your user defined backup and will need to be reloaded with the LOAD ENB button on the main menu to be used in Version 8). Look for the EGUSA8 icon to run Version 8.
