Intent 1:

To limit the probability of an inadequate bond between stucco and its substrate, which could lead to:

  • excessive shrinkage and cracking, or
  • delamination or cracking under gravity, wind or impact loads, or freeze-thaw stresses.

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 temperatures of interior spaces or relative humidity,
  • the generation of pollutants from biological growth or from materials that become unstable on wetting,
  • deterioration, which could lead to compromised integrity of exterior walls or elements protected by exterior walls, or
  • the accumulation of water in interior spaces.

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.
