Intent 1:

To limit the probability that the thermal bridging effect of closely-spaced, repetitive structural members and ancillary members will not be accounted for in the calculation of the overall thermal transmittance of assemblies, which could lead to the underestimation of the overall thermal transmittance of assemblies, 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.
