I have this architect trying to make a room as a main electrical room(Service equipment room)/Sprinkler room/mechanical room/Plumbing(boilers, water heaters, etc). I know this is not a good way to do it and trying to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't listen to me.
Problem is I can't back up my argument with proper code provisons. I have never seen this before and I would rather have my own main electrical room.
He can't back up his argument with proper code provisions, either but he said he had no problem with this practice before.
Is there any code that allows or doesn't allow to put sprinler room in electrical room? Doesn't either electrical room or sprinkler room require any separation between them? or Is this just design preferance? I was trying to find this on building code and sprinkler codes but I wasn't that lucky. Can anyone help me on this?
Thank you for answer in advance.
