Hi,
I have a question concerning the the function of a elevator lobby as a vestibule.
Regarding to Standard 90.1, every building entrance that separate cond. space from the exterior has to have an enclosed vestibule.
The question now is: Does a lift lobby function as an Standard 90.1-accepted vestibule if the door from the lobby to the exterior fulfills the mandatory door requirements and also the additional interior doors from the lobby to other building areas fulfill the requirements? Are there also requirments on the elevator door itself (air leakage, etc.)?
Thanks

Sounds like it would comply. The elevator doors are not exterior so there is no leakage requirement.

Thanks.
So am I right in assuming that the Mandatory Provisions of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007 for 5.4.3 Air Leakage -> 5.4.3.2 Fenestration and Doors only apply to the exterior doors and windows of a vestibule and not for the inside doors/windows?
Are there any requirments on air leakage, etc. for the inside doors/windows of vestibules?
Thanks.

Yes I think that is correct.
Not that I know of.
