Application
Application 1: 
Thermal insulation required to be installed to provide resistance to heat transfer through walls, ceilings, roofs and floors separating heated space from unheated space, the exterior air or the exterior soil, in buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9].

Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that the thermal performance of required thermal insulation will fall significantly below expectations, which could lead to an inability to control heat transfer through assemblies, which could lead to excessively low temperatures of interior surfaces or within assemblies, which could lead to condensation, which could lead to deterioration, which could lead to compromised structural integrity of assemblies acting as environmental separators, which could lead to harm to persons.
