The Florida Building Code: Test Protocols for High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) is the mandatory statewide standard for testing and approving building materials, components, and systems used in Florida’s highest windborne debris regions (HVHZ) specifically Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Published by the International Code Council (ICC) and used by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), this volume contains the rigorous testing methodologies required to demonstrate compliance with extreme wind loads, severe impact, and wind-borne water infiltration standards. It serves as the authoritative technical reference for testing laboratories, manufacturers, structural engineers, and building officials executing plan reviews and product approvals.
