Minimum Window Sill Height for Second St
Hi there folks…its my first visit here.
I’m having a tough time finding the Ca UBC info for the minimum sill height for a second story window for safety.
I *think* its 24″, but I can’t seem to confirm that anywhere online…
I’m in Calaveras county, Ca BTW.
Thanks!

The bedroom fire exit requirements are a minimum 24" clear opening height, and a maximum of 44" from the sill to the floor.
To keep people from falling out the window, there is a requirement for a guard rail 34 - 38" above the floor if the sill is lower.
