Cold-room or temperature-separated doorwayMay be part of the review when the ambient side needs comfortMay fit when the main need is a doorway air barrierTemperature split, cycles, moisture, frost notes, service access
Dust or insect entryHeat is optional and should not be assumed to solve the source conditionOften the first separation path to compareTraffic, exposure, door operation, cleaning access, mounting
