| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of inadequate support or fastening
for exterior cladding, which could lead to an inability to resist expected
lateral loads, which could lead to the deformation or detachment of cladding.
This is to limit the probability of precipitation ingress, which
could lead to deterioration, which could lead to compromised structural integrity
of the wall, which could lead to harm to persons.
