Understanding the Performance Path for Energy Efficiency Compliance
National building codes offer two routes for energy efficiency compliance: the Prescriptive Path and the Performance Path. While many builders opt for the simpler prescriptive route, the Performance Path offers long-term advantages that are worth considering.
Why the Performance Path Outperforms Traditional Methods
Cost Efficiency and Incentives: Lower your costs with government-backed energy incentives, and reduce material and construction expenses through efficient design.
Enhanced Comfort and Sustainability: Optimize energy performance for a more comfortable, energy-efficient, and sustainable building.
Streamlined Documentation and Faster Approvals: Enjoy simplified compliance processes and quicker project approvals.
Flexibility in Design and Materials: Achieve energy goals while allowing flexible design choices and tailored materials to meet your project’s needs.
Traditional Approach
-
Outdated building technologies and specifications
