Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that the performance of the installed material, with respect to resistance to moisture transfer, will fall significantly below what is needed to control moisture ingress from the ground.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • the inadequate control of relative humidity or water accumulation,
  • the generation of pollutants from biological growth or from materials that become unstable on wetting, or
  • deterioration, which could lead to compromised integrity of environmental separators.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • negative effects on the air quality of indoor spaces,
  • the inadequate thermal comfort of persons, and
  • contact with moisture.

This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
