Subject: Western States WW flow rates, graph, & Connecticut's bedroom definition

Annette, I ran off without giving you the file with the graph I presented at the meeting. So, I’ve attached it.  I misstated which states are represented in this file. California & Nevada are missing.

 

Below you will find Connecticut’s definition of Bedroom found in their Rules and Technical Specifications:

 

Bedroom means those areas within a residential building that have the potential to be utilized as a sleeping area on a consistent basis. In order to be deemed a bedroom the room must meet all of the following standards:

1. Be a habitable or planned habitable space per Building Code requirements. Planned habitable spaces would include those areas which contain the appropriate “roughed-in” mechanicals, such as, heating ducts, hot waster lines, or plumbing waste lines, etc., but are not currently “finished” to meet Building Code requirements for habitable space.

2. Provide privacy to the occupants. Large (minimum 5 feet width) openings or archways can be utilized to eliminate room privacy.

3. Full bathroom facilities (containing either a bathtub or shower) are conveniently located to the bedroom served. Convenience in this case means on the same floor as the bedroom or directly accessed from a stairway.

4. Entry is from a common area, not through a room already deemed a bedroom.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Regards,

AJ
