Intent 1:
To limit the probability of the cracking of foundations
or building superstructures.
This is to limit
the probability of:
- pollutant ingress (from the exterior or from adjacent
interior space, including soil gas, combustion products from parking
garages, and particulates),
- precipitation ingress,
- condensation, or
- moisture ingress from the ground.
This is to limit the probability of:
- an inadequate control of relative humidity or water
accumulation,
- 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.
