code for toilet
(OP)
if there is a window in the toilet, it is not necessary to have an exhaust fan?Is there any code saying that?
I checked the Ashrae 62.1. it only says the minimum exhaust rate.
Thanks

the total area of the building is 800 m^2. Therefore, it is an application of residential building.

Secondly, we can't give you a "required" or "not required" answer because what is code is ultimatley left to the authority administering the building-permit process in your area. What is the code that applies at your location for starters?
Thirdly, again I think it depends on whether your doing something new here or simply trying to determine whether something existing is up to code. Unless you're renovating or something, sometimes the existing stuff will be grandfathered. In the IRC (2000 edition, section 303.3) amd UMC/UBC 2000 edition, section 1203.3), an openable window min 1/20th of floor area and 1.5 sq ft min would suffice--OR you could have an exhaust fan (I'll not elaborate on the fan requirements since it's academic at this point).
If I were designing a new facility today in my area, I would use that IMC Table 403.3 (which is incorporated into my current enforceable state mechancial code, 2006 edition) as the other responders mentioned and put in an exhaust fan/system with a 50 CFM intermittent or 20 CFM continuous capacity (assuming the occupancy is classified as a private dwelling).
