I do not believe awning windows can be used for egress. The problem is with the hinges and operator. The 36-013-10 hinge set is made to drop down when it opens so you can possible wash both sides from inside the house. The travel of the operator only allows so much of an opening (see image below). I think you are going to have to make a larger opening and use a double hung window or possibly talk to a window supplier in your area and see if they can supply you with a casement window with egress hardware.
