Intent 1:
To limit the probability of incomplete coverage
of aggregate with cement paste, which could lead to stucco being of
inadequate strength to resist gravity, lateral, impact or abrasion
loads, or freeze-thaw stresses, which could lead to cracking.
This is to limit the probability of:
- 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.
