Burt Logan ◆ President’s Column

Hello to all and welcome to 2015! The turning over of the New Year signals another end to the holiday season: an end to the hustle and bustle, an end to finding gifts for people that you barely know, an end to putting on the weight. Now it is time to buckle up and get back to work; but, before I do that, I would like to thank the new mem-bers that have joined this last year, and also say thank you to those members who have been with us through thick and thin. The Association would not be in the place it is today without the backbone of true loyal members and the acquisition of fresh new members. Now that the holidays have spent all of our pent up energy, and extra spending money, it is time to get back to work. But, let’s not go back to the grind without taking time to look back on our business this past year. This year, our industry, and construction in gen-eral, has grown exponentially. There has been a gigantic uptick in construction which is a good thing for everyone. When we are on solid footing, which not only provides jobs for roofing contractors and workers, but also moves products for our suppliers and manufacturers. The more products and work that we can put in place, the more we can bill out, which means everybody’s pockets fill with the right amount of money. This upturn also means that there will be more jobs for everyone, including reroofing work. All of this positive does come with some nega-tives. More job opportunities mean stronger competition for bids. Now you will see more contractors at a bid than usual. Also, people will see that contracting is lucrative again and will join the field. What this means for you is that it might be harder to find good, trained employees, that are trustworthy. Some will see this as a moment of convenience and jump on the bandwagon. Try to avoid these people; hire only people that you can see as future leaders of your company. Make sure their references check out, and that they are properly licensed and trained. Do some digging into their background, making sure that they know what they are doing, and not cost you money with their mistakes. As with every New Year, it is tradition to make resolutions, but ones that we can keep. It is easy to say that we will all run ten miles a day, but most of us never end up keeping that goal. So I am suggesting one resolu-tion for your business that you should be able to keep:

Be the LeaderYou are the owner of your business, which means that you bear all of the fiscal responsibility and accountability of said business. This also means that you are accountable for your employees and their actions. It would be wise to set a high standard for your employees by setting an ex-ample for them. Be the guiding light for them, show them the path of what it means to be the exemplary business

owner. Act as if you were your own employee. Do you want an employee that just shows up to work, drinks some coffee, slaps a couple of shingles down, and calls it a day? Be the employee you want for your business. If there is a problem, remedy it quickly and efficiently. It falls upon you to set the example, not to become the example.

Now that is a resolution that is easy to keep. I want to remind everyone about the new FRSA Educational Foundation Training Center located at 7071 University Blvd, Winter Park, FL 32792. This Training Center is becoming a valu-able asset to the Association with classes and meetings already scheduled. Just last month, Jim Brauner from Brauner Safety Services held a class inside and outside the Training Center, with hands-on demonstrations. It went flawlessly and we have plans for more classes to be held there within the coming months. If you want a fantastic venue, look no further. There are a couple of exciting things on the agenda in the coming months. The 93rd Annual FRSA Convention and Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Expo is on July 16-18. Now is the time to send in your sponsorships for the Convention. The STAR Awards finalists will be an-nounced at the Convention, so make sure to send in your submissions. Our Winter Board meetings were held last week, along with our first Affiliate Roundtable meeting in eight years. Attendance was great and many refreshing ideas came out of all of the meetings. Also accomplished at the Board Meetings was the approving of a new Strategic Plan. This new Strategic Plan will serve as the document to guide committees, staff, and the Association for the next two years. Thanks to all who participated.

A New Year and a Resolution to Keep

Cam Fentriss ◆ FRSA Legislative Counsel

As we know, Florida is facing uncertain times for its workers’ compensation system with at least three very impor-tant cases pending before the Florida Supreme Court. As of December 4, 2014, one of the cases, Morales v. Zenith Insurance Company, has been resolved; but, two are still pend-ing. One case, Westphal v. City of St. Petersburg, deals with the level of ben-efits for injured workers. Another case, Castellanos v. Next Door Company, deals with attorney fees for lawyers representing injured workers. The Castellanos case is a significant threat to the workers’ compensation system. A negative decision would be exceptionally costly because it would move us back to the obscenely large attorney fees that plagued us before the 2003 changes. For now, we can and should celebrate an im-portant win in the world of workers’ comp with the good decision on December 4 in the third case, Morales v. Zenith Insurance Company. In this case, the most im-

portant question is whether an injured em-ployee who can and has collected benefits un-der workers’ comp can also, or instead, collect on a judgment for neg-ligence for the same injury. What makes the case such a high prior-ity is that it threatens the well-established and crucial “exclusivity of remedy,” or the sole remedy, of the workers’ compensation law. The workers’ compensation law can be described as follows: to give injured employees certainty of coverage in exchange

for having the uncertainty and time delay of suing and trying to collect on a lawsuit for negligence. From the employer’s perspective, it is fair to say that a decision that allows an injured worker to pick be-tween workers’ comp and liability coverage would be letting employees have it both ways and charging the em-ployer for it. For the employer, it would make having a workers’ compensation law all risk and expense and no

benefit at all and there would be no rea-son to keep the workers’ compensation system. In the Morales case, the injured employee died as a result of the in-jury and the family was compensated through the workers’ comp system, but the family simultaneously filed and won, by default, a lawsuit for negligence for the same injury. The default negligence judgment was for $9.5 million, likely much more than the workers’ compen-sation settlement payment. Having already handled, settled, and paid the workers’ compensation claim, the insur-ance company refused to pay the $9.5

million, and that led to the lawsuit that made it all the way to the Florida Supreme Court. The family essentially argued that because this particular insurance policy is a workers’ compensation and employer liability policy, it provides coverage for both. Generally, that is true; but, not as a double-dipping benefit or pick-and-choose opportunity. The Florida Supreme Court agreed with that and found that the law and the insurance policy exclude liability coverage when workers’ comp coverage is imposed by the workers’ com-pensation law. That is exactly how we read the law and exactly what we wanted to hear from the Florida Supreme Court! The FRSA is participating actively in all the cases because this is a critically important part of protecting our stable workers’ compensation system. As was the case with doctors using a loophole in the law to sell drugs for outrageous prices out of their offices, at least one of these cases is just another example of service providers, or claimant lawyers, in the system making a grab for more than a reasonable share just because the law requires employers to provide the insurance coverage. Unless we want to get back to the days of paying 50 percent or more for workers’ comp insurance, we have to fight every single greedy grab out there. Anna Cam Fentriss is an attorney licensed in Florida since 1988 representing clients with legislative and state agency interests. Cam has represented FRSA since 1993, is an Honorary Member of FRSA, recipient of the FRSA President’s Award in 2002 and received the Campanella Award in 2010. She is a member of the Florida Building Commission Special Occupancy Technical Advisory Committee, President of Building A Safer Florida Inc. and past Construction Coalition Chair (1995-1997).

Workers’ Comp Cases in the Supreme Court

In this case Morales v. Zenith Insurance Company, the most important question is whether an injured employee who can and has collected benefits under workers’ comp can also, or in-stead, collect on a judgment for negligence for the same injury. What makes the case such a high priority is that it threatens the well-established and cru-cial “exclusivity of remedy,” or the sole remedy, of the workers’ compensation law.

Trent Cotney ◆ FRSA Legal Counsel

Part One of this article discussed the importance of a changed conditions/differing site conditions clause and the impact if such a clause is absent from a construction contract (http://bit.ly/RFMNOV14). Last month’s Part Two discussed the two types of differing site conditions that are recognized by the courts: Type 1 Differing Site Conditions, and Type 2 Differing Site Conditions (http://bit.ly/RFMDEC14). The distinction, briefly stated, is as follows: Type 1 conditions are those conditions that differ materially from the conditions indicated by the contract documents. Type 2 conditions, the sub-ject of this month’s article, exist where the actual conditions encountered differ materially from those ordinarily expected to be encoun-tered. For case law, see James Julian, Inc. V. President & Commers, 341 F. 2d 629 (4th Cir 1965). The distinction between the two types of differing site conditions is sig-nificant, as each type requires different evidence. In James Julian, the contractor on a Federal road building project encountered subsurface rock that the contractor felt was harder and more abrasive than that which was anticipated. The contractor conducted a site visit prior to the bid and concluded that the rock to be en-countered would be fairly typical of the rock encountered on other projects. The owner made no representations re-garding the characteristics of the rock on site and left it up to the bidders to make their own determinations regard-ing what to expect. The contract had a typical changed conditions clause that contemplated additional compen-sation if the contractor encountered “unknown physical conditions at the site of an unusual nature, differing ma-terially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inhering in work of the character provided for in this contract.” The contractor in James Julian could only bring a Type 2 differing site conditions claim, rather than a Type 1, because the owner had not made any representations regarding what conditions could be expected. In denying the contractor’s claim, the court in James Julian recognized that the contractor bears a greater burden in proving a Type 2 claim than in prov-ing a Type 1 claim. Under a Type 1 claim, the contractor needs to show that the owner made some representation regarding the conditions; but, under a Type 2 claim, be-cause the owner has not made any representations, the contractor must demonstrate that he has encountered something materially different from the “known” and the “usual,” which the James Julian court noted is a more

difficult test because of the wide variety of materials ordinarily en-countered when excavating. As an aside, the court also noted that a Type 2 claim is generally more easily proven when a contractor encounters an artificial or man-made obstruction that is totally unexpected by both parties. The court ruled in favor of the owner because the court found that the conditions encountered, while unanticipated by the contractor, were not so unusual as to war-rant additional compensation being paid to the contractor. An example of a Type 2 differing site condition in roofing would be if

the roofer removes a roof and encounters bats or animals hiding in deteriorated decking and/or the attic. When a Type 2 differing site condition is en-countered, the contractor will need to provide testimony regarding the contractor’s efforts to ascertain the condi-tions that will be encountered, and must show that those efforts were reasonable and were within the industry stan-dards. Furthermore, the contractor will need to provide testimony from ex-perts, and perhaps a friendly competi-tor with experience in the area, regard-ing the unusual nature of the condi-tions encountered. Most com-mercial owners long ago recognized that the cost of construction will be higher if bid-ders are required to assume the risk that the conditions encountered may differ from what is expected. Accordingly, beginning with the Federal government years ago, owners included “changes” or “dif-fering site conditions” clauses in their contracts to allow the contract price and time to be equitably adjusted to fairly compensate the contractor for the additional costs incurred. In this way, the owner benefited from receiv-ing lower bid prices because the bidders knew they need not include a contingency price for differing site condi-tions. For years, bidders on public works projects were assured that the contracts being bid included appropriate

Differing Job Site Conditions (Pt III of III)

When a Type 2 differing site condition is encountered, the contractor will need to provide testimony regarding the con-tractor’s efforts to ascertain the conditions that will be en-countered, and must show that those efforts were reasonable and were within the industry standards.

It is very likely that you have heard mention of the “focus four” before. It is a required portion of the 10 and 30 hour outreach training, and mention of the “focus four” often finds their way onto safety handouts and posters. But exactly what should you be focusing on and why are these four the issues we are told to focus on? What practical value can there be to focus on only four types of hazards? Here they are:

Falls from Elevation On nearly every construction project, at least some part of the project comes out of the ground. When complete, the building will have finished floors, walls, railings, and other features designed to protect occupants from falls. During different phases of construction, some or all of these features may be absent or incomplete, resulting in the potential exposure for workers to fall from more than six feet. The dynamic nature of construction makes this even more challenging. Even when hazards are recognized, they are sometimes not adequately guarded. The regulation does not require a worker to attach himself to the building. The requirement is that the fall arrest system “be rigged such that employees can neither free fall more than six feet, 1.8 meters, nor contact any lower level.”

Struck byFor many of the same reasons listed above for falls, when there is a potential for a person to fall from height, there is a potential for materials to fall as well. Recently in New Jersey, a simple tape measure ended the life of a delivery driver waiting outside a building under construction. Thankfully, for most construction personnel, a hard hat is a normal part of the routine at work. Toeboards and netting can also help to prevent objects from falling. Unintended consequences caused by some power tools often result in a worker being struck by a tool or the material being worked on. Training personnel on proper tool use and requiring the needed personal protective equipment can go a long way in eliminating or reducing the severity of these injuries.

Caught in or betweenExcavation cave-ins and the heavy equipment and materials associated with excavation can result in the trapping or crushing of workers or their body parts. When requirements to properly slope, shore or shield are not followed, the results can be severe. All excavations require the supervision of a competent person, and excavations over 20 feet deep require the involvement of a professional engineer. Heavy equipment needs to be properly maintained and used by trained personnel. Good planning can eliminate the need for other trades to work in close proximity to excavation activities in many cases, eliminating the hazard all together. Before going behind a piece of equipment, communicate with the operator so that he or she knows you are going to be behind them. If a piece of mobile equipment is close to a fixed object, like a telephone pole or part of a building, go around. Trying to get through a narrow gap can be fatal if the equipment moves.

Electric ShockElectricity is a critical component of our society, the building we build, and the construction of those buildings. The need for receptacles and lighting throughout a job site is obvious. The hazard to workers is created when systems are damaged, incomplete, or inadequate precautions are taken to isolate or de-energize. Electrically hazardous situations can be as innocuous as a missing ground pin on an extension cord or as serious as working in a live panel. During demolition, circuits in the area of the demolition are not always correctly identified and de-energized. A worker performing demolition at a Wal-Mart in Massachusetts was electrocuted when a light circuit was accidentally cut.

These four hazards are identified as the cause of death in 90 percent of construction fatalities. This has been recognized for a long time, but what brought attention to these four issues was a procedure change by OSHA in 1994. Up to that point, some OSHA compliance officers conducted every construction site inspection as if they were expected to identify all violations throughout the

RETRACTIONROOFING FLORIDA Magazine and FRSA retract the article titled “Code Changes and Sealed or Unsealed?” printed on page 14 of the December 2014 edition of ROOFING FLORIDA Magazine. The topic(s) in this article are currently under study because, among other reasons, there is meaningful disagreement with views or positions stated in this article and it is both prudent and our preference to wait until the conclusion and publication of this study before making any pronouncement for or against this particular system or any related product(s).

One of the biggest reasons salespeople do not close more business is that they either do not follow up enough or they do not follow up properly. Here are the keys to close more sales by following up the right way. Key 1: Follow up at least 12 timesThe average salesperson follows up with a prospect once or twice. The majority of sales are made between the 4th and 12th contact. As a result, you need a step-by-step follow-up system that consists of at least 12 contacts. Two of the most important aspects of follow up are consistency and commitment. Having and sticking to a step-by-step follow-up system with each and every prospect will ensure you have these two aspects in place. For those of you who believe 12 follow-up contacts is too many, you need to get resold on your product. If your product can truly help the prospect and you believe you have the best product for them, you owe it to them to follow up at least 12 times, and probably even more. If you were trying to prevent your child from running into traffic, how many times would you try before you gave up? Another example, you sell life insurance and have a young dad in front of you. You know that his wife and two young children could be financially destroyed if he doesn’t have life insurance. How persistent are you going to be? Key 2: Talk in benefits and add value where possibleWhat was the reason they originally contacted you or, if you initiated contact, what was the reason they decided to talk to you? How can you remind them of that and further drive home the point that now is the time to act? Has there been a change or update which might affect them? Is there some new information you can provide that might help them make a better, more informed decision? Is there something you can give them that costs you little or no money, and yet, can show your value to them? Always think in terms of what’s in it for them and always put yourself in their world. How can you add or show value to the prospect? Why should they be interested in what you are talking about? What will they get out of it? What would cause them to be motivated to act? Key 3: Use a variety of follow-up methodsYour follow-up can consist of phone calls, in-person visits, mail, e-mail, faxes, and even text messages. Of these methods, an in-person visit is by far the most effective, followed by phone, mail, text, fax, and finally e-mail. You want to use a variety of these but try to focus on the more effective methods. You can also use these in conjunction with one another. For example, right after you make a phone call, send out an e-mail. One thing you want to avoid is follow-up by e-mail alone. E-mail is impersonal

and also the least effective follow-up because you can never be sure they read it or even got it to begin with. And NO, do not send an e-mail with return receipt. I don’t even have to say that, right? Key 4: Continue to stay in contact with peopleIf you are unsuccessful with your 12 contacts, and assuming they are still a viable candidate for your product, you must continue to stay in touch. Get them on your contact list and continue to reach out via a variety of methods: monthly newsletter, postcard mailer, product updates, birthday, holiday, and other cards, gifts, and sending out other items of interest. You can also still make an occasional phone call, stop by in-person, send an e-mail coupled with another communication, or send a fax. The key here is you want people to think of you and have your contact information when they need your product or service. Have you thought of someone when you finally needed their product and you had no idea of how to reach them because they didn’t stay in touch? Note: Reach out to people about once a month with the above methods. Daily or even weekly contact will irritate most people, almost all are okay with some form of monthly contact. Also, as stated under Key 2, make sure the contact has some value for the prospect. Note 2: If you’re really concerned about contacting people after they’ve said they aren’t interested at the moment, but you’ve determined they’re still a good prospect, try the following, “Okay, I completely understand. Let me ask you, is it okay if I reach out from time to time with product updates and other pertinent information?” Most people will agree to that. BONUS: Here are the four biggest follow-up mistakes in order of “bigness:”

♦ The salesperson doesn’t follow-up quickly enough ♦ They don’t make enough follow-up calls ♦ They don’t know what to say or they say the wrong

thing ♦ They don’t provide contact information

What’s most important is that you get to the person as quickly as possible once you realize they are interested in your product. Even if you aren’t prepared (3rd biggest mistake), make the initial contact as soon as possible. Just let them know that you are aware of their interest, are working on the situation, or whatever the case may be, and let them know when they will hear back from you. And hopefully it’s sooner rather than later.

Most of you are aware that, to do any type of construction work in the State of Florida, you must purchase workers’ compensation insurance coverage for your employees, even if you only have one employee. But did you know that if you are the owner of your construction business and you do not have any other employees, that you are actually considered to be an employee? Yes, even the owner, corporate officers, or members of a limited liability company (LLC) are considered an employee for purposes of the Florida workers’ compensation laws. This means that you must either purchase a workers’ compensation policy to insure or cover yourself, or you can exempt yourself from coverage by filing a Notice of Election to be Exempt with the Florida Division of Workers’ Compensation Bureau of Compliance.An officer of a corporation or member of an LLC may exempt themselves from coverage if:

♦ The officer owns at least 10 percent of the stock of the corporation, or in the case of an LLC, a statement attesting to the minimum 10 percent ownership.

♦ The officer must be listed as an officer of the corporation in the records of the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations.

♦ The corporation must be registered and listed as active with the Florida Division of Corporation.

Further, no more than three corporation officers per corporation or per LLC member are allowed to be exempt. There is a $50 filing fee for each application submitted to

obtain an exemption and finally the exemptions are valid for a period of two years or until a voluntary revocation is filed or the exemption is revoked by the Division of Work Comp, Bureau of Compliance. To apply for an exemption you can log on to the Division of Work Comp at http://bit.ly/15IIaZp. This will allow you to electronically submit an exemption application and payment, or you can call their office at 850-413-1609 for further assistance. Once you have submitted your application and filing fee, the Division has 30 days to review your application to determine if it meets the requirements for an exemption. At that time the Division will issue your exemption certificate, notify you of any issues with your application, or deny the exemption due to not meeting the requirements. Remember, that an officer of a corporation or member of an LLC who elects exemption may not recover workers’ compensation benefits, and that the exemption will only apply to the corporate officer or member of an LLC that is listed on the exemption certificate and then only within the scope of the business or trade that is listed on the exemption. If at any time the requirements are not being met, such as if your company is no longer properly registered and listed as active with the Florida Division of Corporations, or if the officer or member no longer holds at least 10 percent stock in the company, then the Division of Work Comp will revoke the exemption.

Also, anytime you aren’t sure what to say, whether it’s the first contact or 12th, just take your best guess and call. The most important part of follow-up is to make the contact regardless of what you say. When they take your call, you will open your mouth and a conversation will ensue. Just make contact.

site. It was decided that too much time was being spent on too few sites, and that it was better to spend less time on more sites looking for violations that were likely to cause serious injury or death. In this way, compliance officers were being asked to conduct inspections in less time by focusing on four types of violations. Under the focused inspections initiative, a compliance officer needs to assess if:

1. Project-specific health and safety planning has been done.

2. A written plan exists, and 3. A competent person has been designated to implement

the plan.

So if a compliance officer arrives to complete a programmed inspection and the site has a health and safety plan being enforced by a competent person, then the site should receive the focused inspection. If the compliance officer finds hazards related to one of the top four categories, the focused inspection might end and you will then need prepare yourself for a very comprehensive review.

On December 19, 2014 Congress retroactively passed a group of over 50 tax provisions commonly referred to as “tax extenders” through the end of 2014. Historically, these tax provisions have been known to expire and have been continuously renewed by Congress to avoid lapses; ensuring taxpayers receive their deductions and credits come filing seasons. With 179D deduction now included in this “tax extenders” package, it is important for the roofing industry to thoroughly understand the incentive and how the components of a roofing system can help a building qualify.

About the 179D Tax DeductionAs a first step, let’s look at what the 179D Tax Deduction is and who can benefit from the incentive. The 179D Tax Deduction is a Federal Tax Incentive that is available for the installation of energy efficient property on commercial buildings. It is available to private building owners in the form of an accelerated depreciation, for the installation of energy efficient property. Additionally, it is available to contractors and designers of energy efficient property installed on government owned buildings at all levels of government: federal, state, local, municipal, school, etc. The deduction is achieved by a reduction in the buildings energy cost savings relative to 2001 American Society of Heating Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, or ASHRAE, Energy Standards. The maximum deduction that can be achieved is $1.80 per square foot by yielding a 50 percent reduction in the building’s energy cost savings compared to a theoretical baseline building. Partial deductions are also available for lighting, HVAC, and building envelope systems for $0.60 per square foot, per category, with varying energy reduction targets. The building’s roof system is accounted for in the 50 percent energy cost savings target and is a major component when partially qualifying for the building envelope category only, in which a 10 percent reduction in energy cost savings is required. To further illustrate the benefits available below is a simple example for 179D Tax Deduction in the roofing industry. A Florida roofing company re-roofs 12 schools within a school district, the total building area of projects totals 1.2 million square feet. The school district allocates the tax deduction to the Florida roofing company for their role in the project. The energy analysis results in a 14 percent energy cost savings primarily achieved from white TPO and additional insulation. The 14 percent energy cost savings qualifies the Florida roofing company for the 179D Tax Deduction at $0.60 per square foot, totaling a $720,000 deduction. At an effective tax rate of 35 percent, the company realizes $252,000 in net cash savings.

How is the 179D Tax Deduction Captured?In order to understand what factors make a roofing system qualify for the 179D Tax Deduction, let’s look at the process and methods required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and Department of Energy (DOE). First, it is important to verify that the project looking to qualify for the 179D Deduction has been placed into service within the time period that the incentive was active. For private building owners, this time frame is currently projects completed between 2006 and 2014. In the case where government is allocating the deduction to the contractors, projects completed prior to December 31, 2014 and as far back as the company was open to amendable tax years, can qualify. This time period is typically 2011-2014. For contractors having the deduction allocated to them, it is necessary that an authorized representative from the government agency signs an allocation letter meeting the requirements of the IRS. Government agencies do not benefit in any way from capturing the 179D Tax Deduction and in turn are not negatively affected by allocating the incentive to the contractor. Once the project has been properly allocated to the contractor, the engineering begins. In order to quantify the tax incentive, a taxpayer must have an energy model performed and a certification completed by an independent third party engineering firm, licensed within the jurisdiction of the project. This certification does require the certifying party to perform a site verification of the property that was placed into service. The final product is a certification receivable which contains all of the above information and substantiates the taxpayer’s 179D Tax Deduction while having the ability to withstand IRS audit scrutiny, if it was to ever be necessary.

Building Envelope and Energy ModelingWhat exactly is an energy model? It is an annual software simulation of a building which determines the energy demand and annual energy costs. The energy model for 179D Tax Deduction purpose is to compare the existing building and its systems against a theoretical 90.1-2001 ASHRAE building. This theoretical building is identical in geometry but has 2001 ASHRAE systems in the building, including the roof. The Department of Energy has a list of approved software for use in the 179D Tax Deduction modeling. All approved software is capable of modeling envelope qualifying systems only. If the energy cost savings required by 179D is achieved or exceeded, 10 percent for envelope systems, that project is now eligible for the 179D Tax Deduction. The building envelope category of the 179D Deduction is the most underutilized and specialized category of the tax incentive. Unlike lighting and HVAC, the envelope systems themselves do not consume energy;

rather, they affect the amount of energy consumed by the heating and air conditioning systems. This separation in energy costs from the envelope systems and its modeling complexities has resulted in a lack of use by the roofing industry.

Roofing Factors which Significantly Affect the Energy Model SavingsWhen modeling a building to qualify for the envelope category only, the DOE has provided guidance allowing for the two buildings, the taxpayer’s and the ASHRAE baseline building, being identical in all of its systems other than the envelope system itself. This allows an analysis on how the new roof system along with the existing walls, windows, and building orientation affect the energy consumption of the baseline building. With this explained, the following are key factors which aid in qualifying roof systems for 179D:

♦ White Roofs - Roofs with high solar reflectance in hot climate zones such as all of Florida and parts of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia will reflect significant savings in energy costs.

♦ High Thermal Emittance - Membranes and other products with high thermal emittance also reflect energy savings through its “heat rejection” properties in climates with harsh sunlight such as Florida.

♦ Insulation - Higher R-Values in any of the envelope systems will increase energy savings in hot and cold climate zones.

♦ High Loads on Envelope and Building Geometry - Because the energy model depicts the energy savings on the HVAC system, other envelope characteristics such as existing wall construction and window-to-wall ratios can play a significant role. In general, buildings with envelope characteristics which weigh heavily on the HVAC loads are good candidates to exemplify the savings of the envelope system on the whole building.

An easier way to explain the effect of the envelope loads and building geometry on the energy savings is to theoretically demonstrate the opposite. If a building could have very little or no roof, wall, and window area, then it would not matter how efficient the components were. A building with no envelope loads will not reduce the energy consumption on the HVAC system itself. The roofing industry has been one of the late adapters to benefit from this incentive and there are still millions of unclaimed dollars waiting to be captured by roofing contractors all across the country. If you have tax liability and a portfolio of government buildings that you have completed, now is the time to capture this incentive and take advantage of the 179D Tax Deduction.

clauses addressing differing site conditions and chang-es. Recently, however, a number of public owners have modified their contracts in an effort to place the risk of differing site conditions on the contractor. Prudent contractors will closely examine their bid documents to determine whether they will be able to seek a contract adjustment if a differing site condition is encountered. Absent that ability, the bid should reflect the increased risk that the owner is asking the bidders to assume.

The Fourth SummerBy Mark Zehnal, CPRC, FRSA Director of Technical Services

Well it is official; once more, on a crisp January morning, great anticipation filled the halls of Florida’s State Capital. Tallahassee was overflowing with excitement, not only because the Seminoles winning streak was still intact and moving on to the first college National Championship playoff tournament, but on January 5, 2015 the Florida Building Commission unanimously voted to approve the 2014 Florida Building Code (FBC) Fifth Edition. The official effective date is June 30, 2015. It is reported that after the vote there was laughing, crying, and some proverbial gnashing of teeth and even rumors of Florida Building Commissioners doing the Macarena, just kidding. Three summers have come and gone with the fourth on the horizon when the new code finally takes effect. So why did the 2013 (now called the 2014 Florida Building Code Fifth Edition) code development process based on the 2012 ICC base code get derailed when it was positioned to finally catch up to the ICC code cycle? Remember the 2010 Florida Building Code based on the ICC 2009 code had just become effective in March 2012? The ICC 2012 was in place for use and the ICC 2015 code development had started in January of 2012. Keeping the versions and timeline in order can become quite confusing so I’ve added a table.

I believe one of the reasons it is so important to catch up to the ICC process is to stay current with the changes to standards found in ASTM, ASCE, and ANSI as well as the National Electrical Code, Energy Code, Accessibility Code, including the culprit for the last postponement, the Fire Prevention Code. Correlating with the ICC 2012 base code would mean when we start the Florida Building Code Sixth Edition development in late 2015 or early 2016, the base code information was possibly submitted as far back as 2012. I know an argument can be made that they make changes and update information as they move forward, but we are still that much farther behind when we start our process. What seems funny to me is that from a roofing perspective, if you review the past changes since the Florida Building Code was implemented, it certainly looks like the ICC codes have been catching up to us.

So, what does this mean for the Florida roofing contractor? Well let me give you the skinny on that while the fat lady sings her last chorus. Remember back when the 2010 became effective, we were running full speed adjusting to all the changes that were mixed into that magical cauldron? Changes like ASCE 7-10 and the Energy Conservation Code freak out with the mystical number R-38. The 2010 Florida Building Code was the debut for new version of ASCE 7, which caught most participants during the 2010 code development process by surprise. During the second Roofing Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting, we were told that there would be a decrease in design pressures even though the wind speed used to calculate the design pressures increased. Tables and code references dependent on the design pressures that passed the first round of TAC meetings had to be revised and resubmitted. Fortunately for roofing contractors, FRSA’s “A-Team” was up and running like a Kevin Harvick pit crew during a race at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. Our team, which included roofing and sheet metal contractors, manufacturers and suppliers, was fully engaged in finding solutions for the 2010 FBC mysteries and the upcoming code development process that would start in June of 2012. FRSA headquarters, once again, served as the hub of code activity. FRSA sponsored meetings for those who volunteered their time to brainstorm, discuss, debate, develop, and otherwise hob-nob with their fellow roofing professionals in an effort to proactively keep the roofing code intact; something that they had worked on for years to develop. To guarantee success, FRSA saturated the Florida Building Commission meetings with knowledgeable contractors and associate members burdened with glorious purpose: keep the code intact. The plan worked. The code as we know it was intact including the addition of the FRSA-TRI Florida High Wind Concrete and Clay Roof Tile Installation Manual, Fifth Edition. Since I’ve been involved with both code development programs, I have come to the conclusion that the Florida Building Code development process works best. It is all inclusive, since all parties involved, manufacturers, design professionals, building officials, trades, and special interest parties, have a say and vote in the process whereas only government employed ICC member inspectors have a vote in the ICC program. No offense to the inspectors who have been put in that position, but is their understanding of all that they vote on enough to make good decisions? Are the votes cast on knowledge they have from their particular area of the country, and if so, why would they consider voting in favor of code modifications that clearly affect the State of Florida? I still do not understand the Florida Statute

requiring Florida Building Code interested parties to submit code modifications to ICC in an effort to change the base code. Changing the base code would impact all who adhere to ICC codes. That adds up to more unnecessary work for everyone else. The main purpose of the building code is to protect the citizens of our state. In each Florida Statute that governs the Florida Building Code1, all licensing for inspectors2, architects3, professional engineers4, and contractors5 clearly states to safeguard the public health, safety, and general welfare.

2010 Florida Building Code 101.3 IntentThe purpose of this code is to establish the minimum requirements to safeguard the public health, safety and general welfare through structural strength, means of egress facilities, stability, sanitation, adequate light and ventilation, energy conservation, and safety, to life and property from fire and other hazards attributed to the built environment and to provide safety to fire fighters and emergency responders during emergency operations. I am encouraged by the proactive actions FBC Chairman Richard Browdy is taking by setting up a workshop meeting on January 30, 2015 to review the process and discover all the stumbling blocks of past code cycles with the purpose of finding solutions. Hopefully we can move forward and out from under the shadow of the ICC base code.

1 553.72 Intent.— (1) The purpose and intent of this act is to provide a mechanism for the uniform adoption, updating, amendment, interpretation, and enforcement of a single, unified state building code, to be called the Florida Building Code, which consists of a single set of documents that apply to the design, construction, erection, alteration, modification, repair, or demolition of public or private buildings, structures, or facilities in this state and to the enforcement of such requirements and which will allow effective and reasonable protection for public safety, health, and general welfare for all the people of Florida at the most reasonable cost to the consumer.2 468.601 Purpose.—The Legislature finds that, where building code administration and inspection personnel fail to adequately, compe-tently, and professionally administer state or local building codes, physical and economic injury to the citizens of the state may result and, therefore, deems it necessary in the interest of public health and safety to regulate the practice of building code administration and inspec-tion in this state.3 481.201 Purpose.—The primary legislative purpose for enacting this part is to ensure that every architect practicing in this state meets minimum requirements for safe practice. It is the legislative intent that architects who fall below minimum competency or who otherwise present a danger to the public shall be prohibited from practicing in this state.4 471.001 Purpose.—The Legislature deems it necessary in the interest of public health and safety to regulate the practice of engineering in this state.5 489.101 Purpose.—The Legislature deems it necessary in the interest of the public health, safety, and welfare to regulate the construction industry.

In an ever-changing world, education and training should be the focus of every successful contractor. Technology has made our workplace more efficient with the advent of estimating software, aerial roof measurements, engineering calculators, iPads, smart phones and tablets; all with instant updates, creating a continual learning

environment. But that is only part of the education necessary to work for a roofing company. There are building codes you need to know and understand. There is the International Code Council (ICC) base code, the Florida

Building Code (FBC), the Energy Code, and for those in South Florida, the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) codes. But the learning process does not stop there: what about local municipalities? Can they override the ICC or FBC? How about your employees, have you considered training for them? With the shrinking job market for skilled workers in the industry, who will replace those who are retiring? FRSA’s Educational and Research Foundation

is prepared with the answers to all of your education needs. With the addition of our training center, we will be focusing on training on a variety of levels, including foremen and superintendents, mid-level management, owners and what we

refer to as the young professional or the next generation. Each of these groups has a preferred method of learning that works best for them, and we are developing seminars to address those needs. Online seminars are also available for those with limited time. Check our website, floridaroof.com/educational-foundation to register. Members from the Educational Foundation, the Young Professionals Council, and the Codes Committee, are developing a worker training program that will focus on different roofing systems, metal, shingles, built-up, steep slope, low slope, as well as safety and first aid. Look for this course to be launched next year. We are also working on seminars that address the upcoming Fifth Edition of the FBC, Estimating for Profit, and Marketing your Roofing Company.

Courses planned for the first half of the year include: ♦ Tripling Your Results Sales Seminar (February 24) ♦ Renovate, Repair and Paint (RRP) Lead Certification

8-hour (February 27) ♦ OSHA 10-Hour course (March 5-6) ♦ Renovate, Repair and Paint (RRP) Lead Recertification

4-hour (March 20, April 14, and May 13) ♦ NRCA Roofing Industry Fall Protection from A to Z

(May 7-8)

We will also be working with industry manufacturers on training for their specific products. The training center has two locations for hands-on and product demonstrations, an indoor and outdoor area, complete with bleacher seating and ventilation. Classroom space for up to 100 and a conference room for smaller groups of less than 12 are also available. The training center is available for rent to industry members and partners and comes equipped with commercial LCD projectors, screens, laptop, Wi-Fi, and a sound system. We will also take care of receiving and disposing of materials. FRSA staff are available for assistance during meetings, seminars, or product launches and can offer food and beverage options to fit any group. Is it affordable? Absolutely! Rental rates are as follows:
