Intent 1:
To limit the probability of using inappropriate
flashing materials or installing an inadequate thickness of flashing,
which could lead to premature failure of flashing upon exposure to
moisture, sunlight, temperature extremes or mechanical stresses.
This is to limit the probability of:
- precipitation or meltwater ingress, or
- compromised thermal performance of components intended
to resist heat transfer.
This is to limit the probability of:
- an inadequate control of temperatures in interior spaces,
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 further 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.
