Excerpt from The Center for Building Technology: A Perspective

The Center's work contributes to upgrading building codes, specifications, standards, test methods, guidelines, and design criteria to better meet the needs of occupants. What it strives for are performance criteria which are much more relevant to the user than prescriptive criteria. Performance criteria focus on user requirements and the attributes necessary to satisfy them: they concentrate on the effects of a building technique or material. On the other hand, prescriptive criteria stipulate a particular way to reach that effect. Thus, performance criteria encourage creativity and economy in design and construction.
