A: Thank you for a good question. According to our handy egress calculator for our JELD-WEN products (http://www.jeld-wen.com/en-us/professional/tools-education/egress-openings-calculator), this window does not meet egress. The clear opening width is 43.812 inches (greater than or equal to 20" is required), the clear opening height is 23 inches (greater than or equal to 24" is required), and the clear opening total square footage is 6.998 (5.0' for 1st floor and 5.7' for 2nd floor is required).
