Intent 1:
To limit the probability that the performance of
exterior wood doors will fall significantly below expectations, which
could lead to:
- infestation by insects or vermin,
- precipitation ingress,
- excessive heat transfer, or
- excessive air infiltration or exfiltration.
This is to limit the probability of:
- the ingress of airborne pollutants,
- the inadequate control of temperatures in interior spaces,
or drafts,
- generation of pollutants from biological growth or from
materials that become unstable on wetting, or
- deterioration, which could lead to compromised integrity
of elements protected by doors.
This is to limit the probability of:
- negative effects on the air quality of indoor spaces,
and
- the inadequate thermal comfort of persons.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
