Hi,
Does anyone have experience with LEED NC requirements for credit EQp2 in a residential building where we'd like the elevator door to open directly into the unit and avoid putting in a door?
Thanks!

Sarah,
My experience with this on two projects was that it should be included in the blower door testing rather than being taped or used for the placement of the blower door. An elevator shaft can be an obvious path for air leakage between units. These doors can be very leaky as well so it's important to make sure one is selected that is tightly weather-stripped and installed properly to prevent leaks.

Thanks Keith! It would be helpful to know if the elevator doors you used on the 2 projects mentioned actually provided an adequate seal and, if so, what type of weather stripping was used.
Thanks again.
