Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that tests to determine the thermal characteristics of building assemblies other than fenestration and doors will be conducted incorrectly or that the thermal characteristics will be improperly determined, which could lead to the underestimation of overall thermal transmittance values, which could lead to excessive thermal transfer through the building envelope, which could lead to excessive use of energy, which could lead to an unacceptable effect on the environment.
