In this case it's just the size of the window opening to make sure there is proper egress. It's a problem here in Tucson as alot of folks have security bars on there windows( myself included).

It is really just a common sence thing...... Can the people that live here get out easily? Can the fire department get IN easily.

I am not one to do all the measurments to make sure it's OK, but if it looks bad it probably is, and then I get out the tape and check it out.

The biggest problem I find is second story windows that are floor to ceiling. They need guards up from the floor to keep kids from walking out.

I do not believe the original question is about egress Todd, maybe illumination.
