6.5    Residential Garages

Residential garages are treated as indoor spaces. (See Section 6.3.1. for lighting control requirement for residential garages.)

Residential garages are required to meet either the residential or the nonresidential requirements, depending on the number of vehicles that can be stored in the garage. For residential garages with space for eight or more vehicles, the lighting must comply with the applicable requirements for nonresidential garages in Sections 110.9, 130.0, 130.1, 130.4, 140.6, and 141.0.
