The Short Answer

The Florida building envelope is the physical barrier between the conditioned interior of a building and the exterior environment. It includes the roof, walls, windows, doors, and foundation. In Florida, the building envelope must be designed for: wind loads (impact-resistant windows and doors, wind-resistant roof covering), flood loads (elevated construction in flood zones), and thermal performance (insulation and window performance to meet the Florida Energy Code). Pineland Engineering designs building envelopes that meet all Florida requirements.
