Doors with pedestrian traffic only to/from terraces or patios (no traffic to/from surrounding grounds) are not required to comply with Part 1 or Part 2 of Feature 8.

If there is a main entrance to the interior part of the building, the requirements of feature 8 part 2 would be required to be met at that entrance. If there is no main entrance and there are only private entrances into individual units, then the requirements of feature 8 part 2 would be out of scope.

In a Core and Shell and New and Existing Building project, this feature is required to be met only for the main building entrances within the scope of the project. Unless the project is also pursuing the Retail Pilot, the retail space would be out of scope. If the retail pilot is being pursued, this feature is an optimization for retail project space, therefore not required to be met.

Yes, this feature is a precondition for the Core and Shell project type and must be met at all main building entrances. If there are no main building entrances and only private entrances into individual units, then the requirements of Feature 8 part 2 would be out of scope. In addition, ground floor retail space entrances do not need to comply with either the Feature 8 part 1 or part 2 requirements as part of the Core and Shell program.

The location of the permanent entryway system, for example grills and grates, is subjective, depending on the layout of the building. However, the project is required to make sure that the walk-off systems are protected from the weather.

Yes, walk-off systems are required at all regularly used entrance(s) to the project, which may include entrances between car parking lots or cycle storage spaces and the building lobby. Walk-off systems are required at main building entrances, both from the exterior of the building and as well as any main building entrance frequently for gaining access to a building, such as from parking structures, underground parking garages, underground pathways, or other outside spaces.
