For purposes of system sizing, a bedroom or potential sleeping room shall mean a habitable room with a floor area equal or greater than seventy (70) square feet with direct or indirect access to a bathroom and designed to provide privacy to the occupant(s), regardless of whether or not it contains a closet. Such rooms include, but are not limited to, rooms labeled on plans as bedrooms, lofts, sewing rooms, dens, offices and game rooms. Kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, or rooms with large entryways lacking doors and designed such that the installation of a door would require a building permit may not be considered bedrooms or potential sleeping rooms. Additionally, rooms that are not considered bedrooms or potential sleeping rooms are rooms that open to a living room, dining room, family room, kitchen, foyer/entry way, or another room such as a master suite, and these rooms have an un-obstructive opening (no doors) with a minimum fifty percent (50%) opening of the total wall space (minimum six feet [6'] wide) with archways or other uncased doorways or acceptable features that do not provide privacy to the occupants. The final determination as to whether a room is a bedroom or potential sleeping room shall be at the discretion of the Director of Environmental Health.
