Intent 1:
To limit the probability that the insulation will
settle, which could lead to incomplete coverage by the insulation,
which could lead to excessive heat loss through portions of the building
envelope.
This is to limit the probability of:
- excessively low temperatures of interior surfaces or
within assemblies, or
- condensation.
This is to limit the probability of:
- an inadequate control of the temperature 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 assemblies acting as environmental separators.
This is to limit the probability of:
- negative effects on the air quality of indoor spaces,
and
- the inadequate thermal comfort of persons.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
