For an existing building under major renovation would the mandatory provision 5.4.3.4 for vestibules be still applicable even if the project scope does not include any additions or plan modifications?

In general if you are not replacing or modifying the system in question you do not need to meet the mandatory requirements related to that system. So I do not think this would be required.
