The IBC has removed the requirement in classrooms for several editions now but NFPA up to the 2009 edition still has it. Does anyone have a newer NFPA that may have now deleted this outdated requirement. It is in 14.2.11 in the 2009 NFPA 101 edition. Also NFPA also requires a second means of egress for interior Classrooms.
Our state Fire Marshall does not use NFPA but the State Guidelines for schools mentions Life Safety Code regarding windows for emergency egress. It mentions the requirement but no edition or chapter and verse. Our state does not have a building code it is up to the local jurisdictions for a building code.
