The requirement for walk-off mats is vague in regards to size of mat required. I think they are typically 4'x6' or in that range, does the 10 foot requirement only apply to permanently installed entryway systems? Thanks.

Hi Will, the requirement seem very vague to me. If you're using a rollout mat, the 10-foot requirement still applies. If that weren't the case, that would be a major loophole in this credit.
