The foundation of your query is sound: these vestibule requirements are indeed part of the mandatory requirements LEED mandates through EAp2.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

and more often than not I tend to find one or more building entries fall into those 90.1 exceptions. There are certainly circumstances and projects that will require a vestibule at each entry, and I don’t mean to say that isn’t a possibility. I merely hope
to encourage those approaching this to thoroughly review those passages, so that nobody misses an applicable exception.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In my original post I said "Since LEED requires compliance with ASHRAE 90.1 Mandatory measures...". I believe this is correct, at least as far as Architectural, Mechanical and Electrical mandatory requirements are concerned.<br>
<br>
And yes, I realize that there are exceptions for doors not used as entries (emergency only or exit only?) and for doors leading into spaces less than 3000 sq. ft. Also for buildings less than four stories under 10,000 sq. ft. in CZ 3 or 4. And for mild climates.
I do not believe any of these would apply to the building I am working on, but I do appreciate the options. Including revolving doors!<br>

any Appendix G model should have the proposed and baseline models differing with respect to having a vestibule. I think table G3.1 is pretty clear that the baseline model is to match the proposed with respect to space/thermal block configuration and arrangement.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

pass EAp2, in my humble opinion it’s incorrect (or at least a stretch) to say LEED requires demonstrating compliance with 90.1.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">In sum, to the extent vestibules are required (review the sections and exceptions carefully), a LEED project must by design include them in the proposed design.
In turn, the proposed model should incorporate the vestibule in the form of a distinct thermal block (zone/space), to match the actual design. In turn, the same edits should be applied to the baseline model as it’s supposed to match the proposed model in
this regard. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

to not model them explicitly as a separated space (modeler has the prerogative to identify and assert where such spatial approximations are appropriate), but in preliminary LEED submission I’d advise making that decision and case clear to the reviewer in your
documentation so if it isn’t acceptable you have the opportunity to make the corrections per above prior to final submission.

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt">I see that ASHRAE 90.1 requires a vestibule in most cases, but I don't<br>
know if it is modeled or if it is just mandatory. It would seem to me<br>
that if it was modeled, showing compliance using modeling, without a<br>
vestibule, would be OK (you would make it up somewhere else in the<br>
envelope). Does anybody know if the vestibule is modeled anywhere, and<br>
how to take it out or put it in?<br>
<br>
Since LEED requires compliance with ASHRAE 90.1 Mandatory measures, this<br>
makes a vestibule a mandatory requirement unless I can model it with and<br>
without. If this is even possible.<br>
<br>
Otherwise we must put in a vestibule to comply with LEED.<br>
<br>
<br>
Is this correct? Does anybody have other thoughts or ideas? We have a<br>
very efficient building, modeled without the vestibule in Climate Zone<br>
3B. I would think that we could take a heating penalty and not install<br>
a vestibule AT EVERY DOOR.<br>
<br>
<br>
I appreciate your thinking about this.<br>
