9.25.2.3.(4) | Application | Intent |
| OH1 | OS2 |
| Objective | OS2 Structural Safety |
| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Ground clearance for insulation, of a type that may
be damaged by water, installed on the interior of foundation walls
enclosing a crawl space, 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 thermal insulation will be
damaged by water, which could lead to a reduced thermal resistance, which
could lead to excessive heat loss through portions of the building envelope,
which could lead to excessively low temperatures of interior surfaces or within
assemblies. This is to limit the probability of 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.
