Is it a highrise?  With a little luck the 9th FLOOR could be <75' above the
ground.  If a HR and the zoning by floor make it a no.  If it's not a HR
then yes the choice of zoning is yours as the designer.  

I'm not sure what a Water Source Heat Pump is.  Is there a burner?  Is there
combustibles?  Could the head be eliminated as a non-com concealed space?
Brainstorming?  You said there was no door that's what has me thinking in
that direction.

Subject: water source heat pumps

OK gang I need some advice hopefully based on experience.

We are doing an independent hotel  that is being constructed more like a
typical condominium. In the far end of each unit (room), there is a small
enclosed closet without a door, but with a removable cover that houses a
Water Source Heat Pump. 

I have assumed sprinkler will be required up to this point but I am open to
comments on that. There is NO WAY to get concealed piping to the closet at
this time. The Building is 9 Stories tall with separate FCV's on each floor
etc.

My Question is can I feed these closets like a shaft from the 1st floor
system all of the way up in order to avoid a lot of grief and trouble to get
the owner to add soffits in every Unit?

All comments welcome except those that point out something painfully obvious
I may be missing.
