This is to limit the probability of:
  • the generation of pollutants from biological growth or from materials that become unstable on wetting, or
  • the deterioration of building elements.
This is to limit the probability of:
  • negative effects on the air quality of indoor spaces, or
  • the inadequate thermal comfort of persons.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
Intent 2: 
To clarify which indoor and outdoor design temperatures apply.
