[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Current code says that a basement needs 2 means of egress. One can be the stairs up and the second must be either an egress window or a door to the outside. If there is a bedroom in the basement then the bedroom must have an egress window and that egress window can be considered the second means of egress for the rest of the basement. [/quote] Architect here. No, basement only needs ONE means of egress only if it has a living space. For example, if you have a bedroom, the room itself will require a window egress (or door). That same window/door can be considered as the single point of egress for the whole basement. You do not need two points of egress. In any case, the stairs reaching the ground floor are considered the 2nd point. I hope this clarifies, ileana schinder[/quote]
