Non-Conforming Bedrooms. A room must conform to specific requirements in order for it to be considered a bedroom or sleeping room. The reason for this law is that the inhabitant must be able to quickly escape in case of fire or another emergency. Why would a homeowner use a non-conforming room as a bedroom?
The main islands of Hawaii, the Society Islands and the Windward islands face into the northern trade winds. They were frequent stops during the trade by ship era of history.
In the Northern Hemisphere, that means that the strong trade winds that originate in the northeast and blow westward pull the surface of the ocean along with them near the equator. Thanks to the coastline and the Coriolis effect, the warm-water current then heads north, turning at about 30 degrees north latitude.
