abstract="Egress calculation, or predicting human flow during egress, is widely applied in Japan using a standardized method for evaluating the fire safety of building plans. This paper illustrates the methods involved in egress calculation using concrete examples and a sample plan. The egress calculation plays an important role in evaluating building plans and in complementing existing fire regulations. However, further investigation needs to be done into human behavior and how it factors into egress.<p />",
