<\/a><\/span><\/div>What are Prescriptive Solutions in TEK17?<\/h1><\/div><\/div>Prescriptive solutions are methods and specifications that authorities have assessed as compliant with the requirements in TEK17.<\/p>\n
If you follow them as described, you will normally meet regulatory requirements without the need for additional analysis or documentation. This makes the planning process simpler, more predictable, and less resource-intensive\u2014for both designers and building authorities.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Why use them?<\/h3><\/div>Prescriptive solutions make it easier to demonstrate compliance. They provide:<\/p>\n
\n- Predictability in the building permit process<\/li>\n
- Reduced risk of non-compliance<\/li>\n
- Faster project approvals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
Prescriptive vs. alternative Solutions<\/h3><\/div>Prescriptive solutions are pre-approved.<\/p>\n
If you choose an alternative solution, you must document that it meets the requirements\u2014through analysis, testing, or simulations.<\/p>\n
These assessments must be traceable and thoroughly documented.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Prescriptive solutions are described in the TEK17 guidance<\/a> and linked to specific requirements, such as:<\/p>\n\n- Fire safety<\/li>\n
- Structural integrity and stability<\/li>\n
- Indoor climate and ventilation<\/li>\n
- Universal design<\/li>\n
- Energy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The challenge is often not finding them\u2014but keeping track of what applies to your project.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
