Mall entrance infiltration modeling for LEED compliance

Hi there,

I am currently carrying out energy modeling for a shopping mall. There are several entrances with vestibules. I was wondering if it would be required to account for the infiltration through the entrances, since it will have a high traffic. Have any of you faced this issue before? do you think this is required for LEED minimum energy performance credit compliance (ASRAE 90.1)? Sadly I could not find much information about it, and whether is necessary to account for this for not.

Thanks
