| Application | Application 1: Protection against deterioration of wood components
exposed to soil or air above the lowest anticipated groundwater table. This applies to buildings described

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that wood components exposed to
damp environmental conditions will not be protected against fungal decay during
the design life of the building, which could lead to their premature deterioration,
which could lead to structural failure, which could lead to harm to persons.
