IMHO, if ESFRs are installed, ESFR obstruction rules should apply regardless of how they are currently using it. Is there a legally defendable argument for ignoring the ESFR rules?

The want to add some additional HVAC and some of the new ducting would obstruct the ESFR sprinkler heads. My question is do we still need to work to the same obstruction rules for this application, fire load is minimal we would be delivering 1200gpm rather then the 150gpm required, just seem like overkill.
