Need a little help! I am located in Alabama and we are working on a small 2 story office building. Here is the breakdown of the building:
1st Floor: 3,115 SF (load 31)
2nd Floor: 1,625 SF (load 16)
Occupancy: B
There is one central egress stair in the building (only 1 egress required per 1006.3.2, less than 30 occupants on 2nd level). So, the question is, do the windows on the second level need to be operable? Pretty simple question, but having a little discussion about it with a couple of different people.
