No. They get hit with more restrictive requirements since they are post-disaster buildings.

Plan review, and scope of the AHJ. How are you separating equipment that would be exempt from the "facility," or a building system that would need to comply? Like utility regs. vs NEC

The equipment is not regulated by the code however the structure that houses the equipment is.

I would say if it is a building you permit it, plus any work in that building, that is normally permitted, permit it.

Unless there is a state or city law saying otherwise.

This is for outside a building:::

Exactly. Just like a manufacturing plant. The only things to keep in mind is audibility of any fire alarms, emergency lighting, and signage once the equipment is installed and operating.

Does the equipment need a structurally reinforced pad? don't care. If it's not required by the building, it is outside of my scope.
