Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability of an inadequate distribution of warm air in basement spaces, which could lead to temperatures in certain areas of the basement falling below the minimum indoor air temperatures [see Sentence 9.33.3.1.(1)], which could lead to condensation, which could lead to deterioration, which could lead to compromised structural integrity of environmental separators or elements protected by such separators, which could lead to harm to persons.
