Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that the performance of windows, doors and skylights will fall significantly below expectations with respect to:

  • resistance to wind and snow loads,
  • control of air leakage, which could lead to excessive heat transfer or condensation, and
  • protection against precipitation ingress.

This is to limit the probability of damage to or deflection of windows, doors and skylights or their components, which could lead to:

  • the compromised structural integrity of windows, doors and skylights and adjacent exterior wall assemblies, or
  • the ingress of water or condensation, which could lead to deterioration, which could lead to compromised structural integrity of windows, doors and skylights and adjacent exterior wall assemblies.

This is to limit the probability of damage to the building, which could impede the intended use and occupancy of the building.
