Intent 1:
To limit the probability of irregular surfaces,
which could slow down or prevent drainage, which could lead to the
accumulation of water on the surface.
This is
to limit the probability of:
- an 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 elements protected by floors-on-ground.
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.
