I have a computer room with 3 lines of racks. Each rack line is approximately 9 feet long and 3 feet wide. There is a 3 feet wide aisle between each rack line (2 aisles). Each rack is approximately 6 feet in height. Over each aisles, there is a lexan cover at 6-1/2 feet in height above the floor and a door at either end of the aisle, making a "room" 15 feet long and 9 feet wide in the computer room. This is for rack air conditioning. The computer room has a wet-pipe sprinkler system. 1. According to NFPA 101, the minimum headroom is 7 feet 6 inches. With the door access, would this "room" be required to have a 7 feet 6 inches ceiling? 2. To prevent sprinkler obstructions, would sprinklers be required in the "room"? Your opinions will be helpful.
