Intent 1:

To limit the probability of:

  • water leakage through cutouts between shingle tabs in the bottom course of shingles,
  • insufficient overhang, or
  • buckling of the starter strip.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • precipitation or meltwater ingress, or
  • compromised thermal performance of components intended to provide resistance to heat transfer.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • an inadequate control of relative humidity, temperatures of interior spaces 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 roofs or walls or of assemblies protected by roofs or walls.

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.
