For mechanical systems and equipment, a prescriptive approach would list the minimum required equipment efficiencies. This approach is quick and easy to use, but you may find the approach somewhat restrictive because the requirements typically are based on worst-case assumptions and all requirements must be met exactly as specified.  3, record 1, English, - prescriptive%20path

L'une des trois voies de conformité proposées dans le Code national de l'énergie pour les maisons et le Code national de l'énergie pour les bâtiments. La voie prescriptive imposera des normes explicites qui s'appliqueront à des éléments comme l'isolation, la ventilation avec récupération de chaleur, l'éclairage et les prises électriques extérieures. Les provinces et les territoires seront divisés en régions qui posséderont chacune leur propre série de normes.
