The area of the window or point of egress must be 5.7 cubic feet, and not more than 44" to the sill.

That being code and all, the area must be 10% of the floor space.

Go figure.?

If your room is 1500 sq. ft. how big does you egress have to be????

Most rooms of this size have a door to the outside.
