2019 9.2.2 Spaces Under Ground Floors, Exterior Docks, and Platforms or possibly this one. 9.2.10* Equipment Enclosures. Sprinklers shall not be required to be installed within electrical equipment, mechanical equipment, or air handling units not intended for occupancy. It is not the intent of 9.2.10 to require sprinklers to be installed in air handling units (AHUs) or in similar mechanical or electrical equipment. AHUs for large buildings and building complexes can be so large that it brings into question whether sprinklers should be installed inside them. Providing sprinkler protection in such units is not practical and would not be overly effective based on the limited hazard present. A.9.2.10 Equipment having access for routine maintenance should not be considered as intended for occupancy. AHUs that have access panels or “man doors" are not necessarily intended for occupancy and should not be treated as such when applying 9.2.10. Often the presence of an access hatch or other means to allow for equipment maintenance is misconstrued as allowing occupancy of such a space.
