Intent 1:
To limit the probability of inadequate surface or
interstitial temperatures of exterior walls.
This
is to limit the probability of condensation, which could lead to:
- the inadequate control of relative humidity,
- the generation of pollutants from biological growth
or from materials that become unstable on wetting, or
- compromised integrity of environmental separators or
elements protected by such separators, which could lead to deterioration.
This is to limit the probability of:
- negative effects on the air quality of indoor spaces,
or
- the inadequate thermal comfort of persons.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
