limit states design of moisture protection for enclosures

"The limit states design of moisture protection for enclosures would consider the probable exposure to moisture based on the following conditions: 1) the regional climate and weather; 2) site influences, such as terrain, orientation, exposure and adjacent structures; 3) building geometry, roof and fa?ade features; and 4) the use/occupancy of the building. Hence, it should be expected that a swimming pool enclosure in Yellowknife would differ significantly from a warehouse enclosure in Windsor, due primarily to differences in climate and use."
