Our project is a big confectionary plant situated in Russia.
According to the local standards we are not allowed to lay air ducts and make supply ventilation for such premises as stair halls and elevator halls. We can only place there smoke ventilation for these premises. What I don't understand is whether we need to provide supply ventilation for this kind of spaces to comply with this prerequisite requirements or not as these premises are non-occupied.
Thank you in advance.

If they are not normally occupied corridors or stairwells, then they do not require ventilation. This would apply to ones that are used for emergency egress only.
