Does anyone know if air curtains have been allowed by USGBC to prevent tobacco smoke entering a building? Our client would like to utilise an air curtain between the smoking area on an external balcony and the internal lobby of a cinema. Unfortunately the balcony is not large enough to allow the 25 foot distance.
Any thoughts/experience?

Meike, here are two other air curtains.I don't know if GBCI has ever allowed this, but I doubt it. I don't see air curtains as the kind of dependable, permanent block to smoking that the credit is looking for.
