? All basement windows
? All bedrooms below the fourth story
? Minimum clear openable dimensions:
Width = 20"
Height = 24"
Area = 5.7 square feet
Finished sill height = 44" maximum
Rough opening height of sill = 42" maximum
NOTE: The minimum area requirement prevents you from using minimum height and minimum width on the same window.

Good post.
"Glazing in any portion of a building wall enclosing these compartments where the bottom exposed edge of the glazing is less than 60 inches above a standing surface and drain inlet."
I did not know that until earlier this year.

Here is the page I got the picture from.

It claims 120/240 volts.
While the company I work for has installed this product I was not involved, we have over 200 electricians working out of our shop so I have heard about it but not the details.
