Yes. The following window and window glazing requirements must be complied with:
o There are window locations within the residence that are considered as “hazardous locations”, and therefore, require safety glazing in compliance with section R308, I.R.C. The glazing must be listed and labeled as safety (“tempered”) glazing. The “hazardous locations”, within a residence, are listed in section R308.4, I.R.C.*** Please note: If the existing window glazing was not originally safety ("tempered") glazing and the existing window was located in a “hazardous location”, the new replacement window (glazing) must be.
o Ensure that the replacement windows in the bedrooms are of the operable type, with clear openings to meet or exceed the minimum required “emergency escape and rescue opening” size, reference section R310, I.R.C.
o To meet the minimum natural ventilation requirements of section R303, I.R.C., ensure that the replaced operable windows remain operable.
