“Maybe”? I have come across instances where the code choices made by the architect caused a need for sprinklers in a situation similar to this. Your best bet will be to have the Engineer walk you through the code path that led them to sprinklers. I have been surprised by roundabout exceptions/counter-exceptions more than once. Or maybe they have made an error. If you want them to believe you – you will likely have to do the same exercise.
