Evacuation procedures are very crucial to every high rise building where evacuation times must be kept to a minimum. Previous work on an emergency evacuation for high rise building was focused on improving the evacuation plan. To date, the research has tended to focus on how to improve the safety system in the building rather than how the hardware support can improve emergency evacuation. Consequently, this unsystematic evacuation plan may result in panic, trap, stampede, as well as injuries. In view of the fact that occupants' information for instance, the location i.e. floor levels and rooms that involved in fires are insufficient; hence an improved occupants' information for occupants and evacuees has been an interest in this work. The Uniform Building By Laws 1984, laws of Malaysia is referred to fulfill the standard requirement for evacuation safety system. The standard among others outline the regulations of installing automatic fire detector system of high rise building. The high rise building of interest is educational occupancies for institutional building with building specification with central air conditioning for two or more "storey" and within a gross floor area 500 square meter till 1000 square meter.
