14. ALL AIR-CONDITIONED SPACE TO BE ENCAPSULATED W ITH

Planning & Zoning Board Regular Meeting · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

This item concerns proposed building specifications for future construction projects within the City of Winter Park. The general specifications require all air-conditioned spaces to be encapsulated with insulation. Specifically, R-5 insulation is required at masonry and concrete walls, R-11 at frame walls, and a minimum of R-22 at roofs. These specifications are currently under review by the Planning & Zoning Board. If approved, this could lead to work involving site preparation, framing, concrete and masonry, roofing, and the installation of insulation and related building materials. Contractors, suppliers, and trades specializing in insulation, framing, concrete, masonry, and roofing may find opportunities as these standards are finalized. Early engagement before final permits are issued could provide a competitive advantage.
