What are the size requirements for an egress window?
An egress window must satisfy four International Residential Code (IRC) criteria:
Minimum width of opening: 20 in.
Minimum height of opening: 24 in.
Minimum net clear opening: 5.7 sq. ft. (5.0 sq. ft. for ground floor).
Maximum sill height above floor: 44 in.

Agree with TC.
Don't know about any "national code" but it's the same in all the code jurisdictions I've ever worked in or read.
