2006 IBC uses the ICC/ANSI A117.1 2003 edition.
404.2.10 Vision Lites. Doors and sidelites adjacent to doors containing one or more glazing panels that permit viewing through the panels shall have the bottom of at least one panel 43 inches (1090 mm) maximum above the floor or ground.
The verbiage is not really clear if you have to provide vision lites in all doors that do not have side lights. The “and” between “Doors” and “sidelites” could be read that doors are to have vision lites and doors that have sidelites shall have vision lites in the sidelite all set at specific heights.
Any thoughts on what the requirement is really wanting. I really do not think that all doors now will require vision lites in them. If that is the case there goes any privacy.
Chaos, Panic, Disorder....my work is done here.
