Maximum sill height from floor: 44 inches

Note: These are net clear opening measurements—not the rough opening or frame size. A 48″x48″ window won’t automatically pass.

Lol I know a lot of houses in my neighborhood that clearly don't meet the opening measurements.

If the basement is walk out, the windows don't matter, except for any basement bedrooms
