I have an existing residence, with an existing carport. To one side and at the rear of
the car port, there are 2 sliding windows on a Game room ( ?? ). These 2 windows
are now on an exterior wall.
The homeowner wants to construct an addition on to the residence. This addition
will be an enclosed garage with a roll-up type door at the front, and the 2 sliding
windows at the rear. 3 new walls, and using the existing wall where the 2 sliding
windows are located as the 4th wall.
My concern / questions are regarding the existing 2 sliding windows. I could not
find a code section regarding any possible separation requirements of the new
garage and the existing 2 sliding windows, and the possible infiltration of CO in
to the residence, or having these 2 windows fire rated.
The proposed new addition will be approx. 12 ft. wide by 20 ft. deep.
Your thoughts and or code sections. We are using the 2006 IRC! Thanks!
