 4 developed residential units, including those created through the conver-
 5 sion of non-residential buildings to residential use, any provisions of
 6 this chapter requiring that windows be openable shall be deemed satis-
 7 fied if the unit complies with the mechanical ventilation standards set
 8 forth by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Condi-
 9 tioning Engineers (ASHRAE) in ASHRAE Standard 62.1, Ventilation and
 10 Acceptable Indoor Air Quality, ASHRAE Standard 62.2, Ventilation and
 11 Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Residential Buildings, or any successor
 12 standard, as amended or updated.
 13 (b) Nothing in this section shall prevent a local government or muni-
 14 cipality where this chapter applies from enacting or enforcing any law,
 15 code, or ordinance that imposes openable window requirements on residen-
 16 tial units to ensure proper egress or to meet fire safety standards.
 17 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 18 have become a law.
