Knowing what title 24 impacts is a good place to start before choosing a method. According to California Code Regulations, title 24 is a list of requirements for “energy conservation, green design, construction and maintenance, fire and life safety, and accessibility.” This applies to mechanical and structural systems as well as lighting and plumbing. Having that in mind, you need to figure out the best method to assess compliance.
The Prescriptive method
With this method, each aspect of the building is evaluated for compliance. From which will be verified that it meets the minimum requirements. While this method isn’t the most flexible, it is the simplest.
The Performance method
