Sounds like everything is a building in the 2020 code.. Here is the 2020 NEC Article 100 Definition:
- *Building.* A structure that stands alone or that is separated from adjoining structures by firewalls. The 2020 NEC Handbook has this note after the definition: - A building is generally considered to be a roofed or walled structure that is intended for supporting or sheltering any use or occupancy. However, a separate structure such as a pole, or billboard sign.or water tower may also be considered to be a building. Definitions of the terms fire walls and fire doors are the responsibilities of the building codes. Generically, a fire wall may be defined as a wall that separates buildings or subdivides a building to prevent the spread of fire and that has a fire resistance rating and structural stability.
