  • Code: EXTBLDG
  • Code Description:
  • Chapter:
  • Section: 702.5
  • Topic: FBC Existing Buildings 702.5 and 505.3 Replacement window emergency escape and rescue openings.
  • Question: Is it the intent of section 702.5(1) and 505.3(1) Replacement window emergency escape and rescue openings, to allow the replacement window (which is impact glass single hung) to have a smaller opening size that the existing window (non-impact glass single hung)?
