With regards to Natural Ventilation in 62.1, ASHRAE defines occupied floor area as "an enclosed space intended for human activities, the term occupiable space excludes those spaces intended for other purposes, such as storage rooms and equipment rooms that are occupied only upon occasion and for brief periods of time." I'd say that because corridors are not specifically excluded it would be safe to have operable windows within 25 feet.
