Intent 1:
To limit the probability of the inadequate control
of air leakage or inadequate venting, which could lead to:
- the inadequate control of temperatures of interior spaces,
drafts, relative humidity, or water accumulation,
- pollutant ingress, including soil gas, combustion products
from parking garages, and particulates,
- 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.
