"Part 5 of the National Building Code, "Wind, Water and Vapour Protection," covers the design and construction of the those elements of the building which separate dissimilar environments, primarily the building envelope. Improper design or construction may result in the premature deterioration of the envelope or the inadequate separation of environments, leading to unsafe conditions.
