1. In every habitable room, at least forty percent (40%) of the window or skylight required shall be easily opened unless one of the following methods of ventilating the room is approved:
a. For inside the habitable rooms, a wall area equivalent to twenty percent (20%) of the floor area must be open into a room with adequate light and ventilation; provided, that in such cases, the window area shall be at least eight percent (8%) of the total floor area to be served by such windows.
b. Kitchens may be equipped with a ventilation system capable of continuous operation.
2. Bathrooms and water closet compartments may be equipped with a ventilation system which is capable of continuous operation.
3. Whenever walls or other portions of structures face a window of any room and such light obstruction structures are located less than three feet (3') from the window and extend to a level above that of the ceiling of the room, such a window shall not be deemed to face directly to the outdoors, and shall not be included as contributing to the total required window area.
B. Electricity: Where there is electric service available, the dwelling shall be supplied with electricity and shall meet the following requirements:
1. Every habitable room shall contain at least two (2) separate wall type electric convenience outlets or one such convenience outlet and one supplied ceiling type light fixture.
