A SD must be provided on each level, but If it is a true loft, a SD on the ceiling in the volume space will work for both.retire09 said:I beleive what qualifies a space to be a room are the walls enclosing the space.Would you require a smoke detector for this loft/sleeping room in addition to the one that is near the ceiling over the open space below? They would be a few feet apart and covering the exact same air space/room. The space below is a kitchen, dining room and living room would each require a light controlled by a switch?
It is in the same room as all the other stuff except the bathroomICE said:If it qualifies as a room then it needs an EERO.This is no different than a fully enclosed bedroom on a second floor with stairs to the first floor. The absence of a wall is no help in getting out since you must still go down the stairs and exit through another space.
If you walk down the stairs from the loft open to the same room and out the front door why is a window neededglobe trekker said:All sleeping rooms must have an EERO, and the structure must have a minimumof one compliant egress door. Instead of having an EERO in the loft area, and
since the entire cabin is an open plan, can you install a minimum of one EERO
downstairs? I would be ok with having a compliant EERO and egress door
downstairs, ..preferably at opposite ends of the structure from each other.
