No.If you have an I-1. Is an eero even required??
No.
1030.1 General. In addition to the means of egress required
by this chapter, provisions shall be made for emergency
escape and rescue openings in Group R occupancies.
Looks like a pretty setting.
In the case of the plexiglass enclosure, the path to the yard, court or public way is blocked. A person would not be supported on the enclosure. A person would most likely fall through the plexiglass and suffer lacerations as well as blunt force injury.
If the code does not allow a roof or anything else under the exterior side of the EERO it would clarify it just like the sections on EERO under decks and below grade in the IRC.
Sifu would you allow a pool under a EERO?
This can be a problem for my state which doesn't require permits for a attached carport, greenhouse or shed under 1,000 sq ft which could be under a EERO.
......"shall open directly into a public way, or to a yard or court that opens to a public way."
Some would say that the word directly means that there is nothing below the opening such as a patio cover or lower roof. That is not the case. As we have all seen, patio covers and lower roofs are under EEROs without restriction. They actually facilitate rescue in that the jump from a second floor window is higher than from most patio roofs.
In the case of the plexiglass enclosure, the path to the yard, court or public way is blocked. A person would not be supported on the enclosure. A person would most likely fall through the plexiglass and suffer lacerations as well as blunt force injury. I do not agree with the placement of an EERO over any obstruction that prevents safe access to the yard, court, or public way. The plexiglass has rendered the EERO useless. I would not be able to approve this.
The title is Emergency Exit and Rescue opening, not an easy way to get out for a hot date.
How about the third floor bedroom window with no obstructions below?[/QUOTE
Would you want it to be against code to have a bedroom in this 2nd floor/attic if these where the only windows?
