As identified by Karen, the IBC allows some locations (such as furnace rooms) to be individually protected (or a higher degree of separation). This is providing protection from this room to the rest of the building. So I guess the sleeping room is such a hazard that the rest of the building needs protection from it? More backwards thinking from a very qualified source. Wear your pointed boots when you talk to them.
