Re: Window height
Actually it goes something like this:
2006 IRC - 613.2 - Window Sills: In dwelling units, where the opening of an operable window is located more than 72 inches (1829mm) above the finished grade or surface below, the lowest part of the clear opening of the window shall be a minimum of 24 inches (610mm) above the finished floor of the room in which the window is located. Glazing between the floor and 24 inches (610mm) shall be fixed or have openings through which a 4-inch-diameter (102 mm) sphere cannot pass.
Exceptions:
1. Windows whose openings will not allow a 4-inch-diameter (102mm) sphere to pass through the Opening when the opening is in its largest opened position.
2. Openings that are provided with window guards that comply with ASTM F 2006 or F 2090.
2007 CBC Ditto.
