Intent 1:
To limit the probability of:
- stresses on stucco due to shrinkage of the masonry substrate
during curing, or
- the inadequate bonding of stucco due to the excessively
high moisture content of masonry.
This is to limit the probability of
the delamination or cracking of stucco, which could lead to:
- precipitation or meltwater ingress, or
- compromised thermal performance of components intended
to provide resistance to heat transfer.
This is to limit the probability of:
- an inadequate control of temperatures of interior spaces
or relative humidity,
- the generation of pollutants from biological growth
or from materials that become unstable on wetting, or
- deterioration, which could lead to compromised integrity
of exterior walls or elements protected by exterior walls.
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.
