A summary of Decision 1802 of the BC Building Code Appeal Board.

Project Description
The project is a house (single family dwelling unit) with no secondary suite. The subject window is located on the second storey of the building and is an operable upsliding or ‘single hung’ window with an opening of 870 mm by 1140 mm. The sill of the window is 290 mm above the interior finished floor and the interior finished floor is 3 220 mm above the exterior adjacent ground level.

Regardless of building code, is this operable window with such a big opening safe if you have small children?
