The room sizes are very similar to the IRC with a minimum of one habitable room over 120 sf and other habitable rooms needing to be 70 sf.
ONTARIO BUILDING CODE MINIMUM BEDROOM SIZE CODE
The 2006 International Building Code kicks in for commercial buildings and buildings with more than 2 dwelling units.
In bathrooms you need 6′-8″ over the fixtures and a minimum of 30″x30″ at that height where you have a showerhead. Where you have the sloped ceilings at least half the room needs to have a ceiling height over 7′-0″. Where you have basements with no habitable spaces (bedrooms, kitchen, living, etc) the ceiling can be at 6′-8″ and beams and ductwork can be at 6′-4″. Beams spaced 4′-0″ or more can be at 6′-6″ above the floor. There are also minimum ceiling height requirements under the 2006 IRC. In order to count the square footage towards the minimum it must have a flat ceiling over 7′-0″ or you can count the area under a sloped ceiling from the point it hits 5′-0″ and over.
(Bathrooms, closets, halls and utility spaces are not considered habitable rooms so they’re also exempt). Other habitable rooms need to have at least 70 sf excepting kitchens. It states that each dwelling unit shall have at least one room with a minimum of 120 square feet. Occasionally when designing small residential units the question comes up about what the minimum size is for a room and what the minimum ceiling height needs to be.įor single family homes and duplexes we go to the 2006 International Residential Code.
