Sidescuttles and windows
15.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), any sidescuttles or windows in a sleeping room, day room, mess room, recreation room or hospital ward without which the standard of lighting required for that room by regulation 13(1) or (2) would not be attained, shall, unless the room is served by an air conditioning system complying with regulation 14, be of the opening type; if the room is served by such an air conditioning system then only 50 per cent of such sidescuttles or windows need be of the opening type.
