In 2011, the Boston Fire Department put out a new directive called Fire Prevention Order 11-1. This supercedes a similar document called Fire Prevention Order 93-1.
In reviewing this new directive, I came across a statement that reads (it’s at the bottom of page 15 if you have a copy); The electrical rooms shall not have sprinkler heads except as required per 780 CMR (the Mass Building Code – which is the IBC with ammendments).
My question is where does the Mass Building code require sprinklers in Electrical Rooms?
