- blhack 7y agoA window that can be opened is considered an exit.
- astura 7y agoThis just means sleeping areas require a window
- CydeWeys 7y agoIt's not true, but not for this reason. 100% of old enough buildings couldn't be built again in exactly the same way. Codes evolve over time.
- CalRobert 7y agoWhy isn't it true? My understanding was rooms where people are likely to sleep require two means of exit (e.g. door and a window).
