I'm working on a project that will have an entrance from an undercover parking below the building. This entrance will have an antechamber, separating parking area from vertical communication (elevators), equiped with a high-traffic mat . Walk-off mat (in the direction of travel) between doors will have approx. 6 feet long. Is it possible to complement this mat inside the elevator in order to fulfill credit requirement? Thank you.

Pedro, I don't think that a mat inside the elevator would really qualify as a "walk off' mat, since people are not walking through the elevator, just into it, and standing there.

Thank you Tristan, that makes sense. But if the elevator had two doors at opposite sides (i.e., one would enter from one door and exit from another), that could qualify, right? Alternatively, if the remaining mat was placed at elevator exits in all floors that could also qualify? Thank you.

Yes, if people will be walking over 10 feet of mat.

Has anyone been successful with using this methodology in a review? Has anyone been successful with using the the depth of the elevator to make up the difference in the 10' when not able to walk through the elevator.
