Is omitting those sprinklers going to make much of a difference in the calcs?

I am working on a 1200 sqft LH building that has a system in it. According to the book, I have to include sprinklers in the closets in my calculations. Any reason why maximum building areas less than the 11.2.3.1.1 minimums would not be a consideration for this exclusion? Todd G.
