Intent 1:
To limit the probability that the performance of
insulating glass will fall significantly below expectations, which
could lead to the inadequate control of heat transfer, which could
lead to:
- the inadequate control of temperatures in interior spaces,
or
- condensation.
This is to limit the probability of:
- the generation of pollutants from biological growth
or from materials that become unstable on wetting, or
- deterioration, which could lead to compromised integrity
of windows or adjacent exterior wall assemblies.
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.
