The study focuses on the comparative analysis of the building codes and regulations regarding building egress system. Convention centers have the main function of exhibition and assembly which requires temporary construction. However, these facilities are exposed to the mass casualty during fire or other emergency situation because of its size and occupants load. Since
most convention centers were constructed in Korea after the year 2000, few researches have been conducted on the building codes concerning the egress in them. This research aims to set the basis for the further research on the egress in the building code, and to examine the principles for the egress in large scale assembly facilities based on the comparative analysis between Korean building code and Life Safety Code of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in United States.
