Draught Lobbies
When creating a draught lobby with the goal to minimise exchange of heat / humidity by keeping at least one door shut as much as possible the most influential criteria is the distance between door sets.  An effective lobby cannot be formed with anything less than four meters. Direction sensing radars can also help when used as a secondary measure.
