To limit the probability of:
  • insufficient combustion air, which could lead to incomplete combustion, which could lead to the spillage of combustion products into living space,
  • the accumulation of contaminants,
  • the inadequate control of temperatures and relative humidity, or
  • condensation, which could lead to:
    • the generation of pollutants from biological growth or materials that become unstable on wetting, or
