Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that the airtightness of other fenestration assemblies will be inadequate for the control of:

  • heat loss or gain due to air mass transfer,
  • air infiltration and exfiltration,
  • airborne vapour transfer,
  • precipitation ingress due to air pressure differences, or
  • condensation.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • excessive air leakage, which could lead to excessive heat transfer, condensation or precipitation ingress,
  • pollutant ingress, or
  • water accumulation.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • the inadequate control of temperatures of interior spaces, drafts, indoor 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 the separator.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • negative effects on the air quality of indoor spaces,
  • the inadequate thermal comfort of persons, or
  • contact with moisture.

This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
