What are the requirements for Egress Windows?

  • The primary purpose of the egress window is to provide an occupant with an alternate escape route when fire or smoke blocks the primary means of escape from the dwelling unit.  The egress window is required when the building lacks an automatic sprinkler system or a door remote from the primary means of escape.
