[All CFPE Questions]

Plan examiners should be aware of what two basic types of code models'?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The two basic types of code models are 'Prescriptive' and 'Performance.' Prescriptive codes provide specific requirements that must be followed, such as construction materials, methods, and dimensions. Performance codes, on the other hand, focus on the desired outcomes or objectives, allowing for more flexibility in how compliance is achieved. Plan examiners should understand both types to evaluate compliance effectively during plan reviews.

Performance and standard? Really? That's like trying to mix oil and water. I'll go with B, prescriptive and variable.

Yeah, prescriptive tells you exactly what to do, while performance sets the standard for how well it needs to be done.
