Intent 1:
To limit the probability that environmental separators
will deteriorate at an unacceptable rate, which could lead to their
premature failure, which could lead to:
- condensation,
- precipitation ingress,
- pollutant ingress, or
- compromised thermal performance of components intended
to resist heat transfer.
This is to limit the probability of:
- an inadequate control of temperatures, drafts, relative
humidity or water accumulation in interior spaces,
- 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, or
- contact with moisture.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
