There is a note stating that "Homes with no heating must follow the performance approach (e.g. EA1), and may not use the prescriptive pathway". I cannot find any explanation in the LEED for Homes material, would anyone be able to explain the reason behind this?

The prescriptive approach includes requirements regarding heating equipment that would not apply; therefore, the performance approach is the only option.
