BOCA, has required this for years. You need an exhaust fan in any bathroom without a window.

Greetings...
Well i will paraphrase here a bit... so here goes
R303.3 Bathroom.
Bathrooms, water closets compartments and other similar rooms shall be provided with aggregate glazing area in windows of not less that 3 square feet - one half of which must be openable.
Exceptions:
The glazed areas shall not be required where artificial light and a mechanical ventilation system are provided. The minimum ventilation rates shall be 50 cfm continuous ventilation. Ventilation air from the space shall be exhausted directly to the outside.
So-- if you have 3 SF of window and half of it slides open you do not need an exhaust fan.... .but it is nice for those steam shower folks.
