Under BOCA Guidelines, sleeping areas must have a minimum of how many square feet for a single occupant and how many for two or more sharing?

• A. 60, 40
• B. 70, 60
• C. 70, 50
• D. 70, 50

Answer: (C)

Sleeping areas under BOCA Guidelines are sized to ensure comfortable space for furniture and movement. For a single occupant, the minimum is 70 square feet. When two or more occupants share the sleeping area, the requirement is 50 square feet per occupant. So, two people would need at least 100 square feet, three would need at least 150 square feet, and so on. This per-occupant approach keeps the room from feeling overcrowded and supports safe, practical use of the space. The correct values are 70 square feet for a single occupant and 50 square feet per occupant for two or more sharing.
