Can DELTA®-DRY be used without a water resistive barrier?

In Ontario, Canada, the Building Code allows DELTA®-DRY to be used stand alone without the addition of a water resistive barrier. The performance qualities of the DELTA®-DRY are unaffected by the absence of a water resistive barrier. Note that the installation procedure changes slightly compared to the installation of DELTA®-DRY as a rainscreen, predominantly due to requirements for flashing of window openings and other penetrations.
