Do I need an egress window if there's two exits?

Question

Do I need an egress window in a basement bedroom room when the basement has two viable exits? There's one door leading to the rest of the basement, and then a set of stairs to an exterior door in the bedroom.

Answer 1

This can only be answered by your code authority where the property is located. Any other responses are just guesses, and the code authority inspector is the one who has the final say on what is required for your specific situation.

Answer 2

If the door opens directy from the sleeping room, that's all that's needed for that sleeping room. If there isn't a door from the sleeping room going directly outside, you need an "emergency escape and rescue opening" (an egress window being one means of doing that) from the sleeping room to directly outside.^*

IBC section 1030.1

^* Unless the building is equipped, throughout, with an automatic sprinkler system - then 2 means of egress from the basement suffice.
