Karen: There is a lot of information needed in order to help you, but I can't think of any 1'-9" deep floor joist construction what wouldn't require sprinklers with the following exceptions:
1. qualifies for a NFPA 13R design 2. space is filled entirely with noncombustible insulation. 8.14.1.2.1 relates to noncombustible or limited combustible construction, which typically does not include wood floor joists.

If so what type and how many heads. I say that by 8.14.1.2.1 that it does not or may not need to be sprinkled but I just don't know. Any help would be great.
