RE: Elevator ventilation
Try with ASME A17.1 "Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators", Section 2.7 of this code "Machine Rooms and Machinery Spaces".
There is a previus trhead about this point, months ago I asked exactly the same. Modern elevators uses microprocessors controls, the temperature inside the machine room should be between 13°C and 30°C, you have to take control of humidity too. Maybe ventilation would´nt be enough.
Bye.

Some lifts can work ok with just a roof vent/cowl fitted which operates on a 'piston' effect generated by the moving lift.
