Intent 1:
To limit the probability of inadequate support or
fastening for exterior cladding, which could lead to an inability
to resist expected lateral loads, which could lead to the deformation
or detachment of cladding.
This is to limit the
probability of:
- precipitation ingress, or
- compromised thermal performance of components intended
to resist heat transfer.
This is to limit the probability of:
- an inadequate control of temperatures of interior spaces
or water accumulation,
- the generation of pollutants from biological growth
or from materials that become unstable on wetting, or
- deterioration, which could lead to further 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.
