Intent
Intent 1: 
To supersede the requirements of Sentence 3.2.3.2.(1) and state a different [less onerous] calculation method for determining the area of an exposing building face, if certain conditions are met, on the basis that the conditions provide an equivalent level of protection. These conditions are to limit the probability that an entire exposing building face will be involved in a fire, which could lead to the spread of fire from the building to an adjacent building, which could lead to damage to adjacent buildings.
