Wait, what good would multiple exits do in the case of CO leak (note it is CO not CO2)? A carbon monoxide leak wouldn't wake you up before killing you.

- jacquesm 11y agoHaving two exits at your disposal works wonders in case of a fire and an open window helps to make sure there is sufficient fresh air in case that heater doesn't work properly. Thanks for the CO / CO2 correction, too much time spent reading up on car pollution recently.
- maxerickson 11y agoUS fire code actually requires that there be 2 exits to any bedroom (in practice the 2nd exit is a suitable window). Of course people ignore this, but leasing out of a sleeping room that doesn't have 2 exits is likely illegal. It's also code to have bedroom electric outlets protected by an AFCI. I guess my point is that even though my reaction to your posts about fire is that it seems paranoid, those accommodations are supposed to be the default where I live.
