What is in the simulators? Could there be a shielded fire in there?

Are these servo motor articulated or use hydraulic fluids?

If there are no hydraulic fluids or other contributing hazards, the building 
may be able to classified as an F-2 occupancy and no sprinklers required.

You might also investigate the possibility of a water mist or hybrid water mist 
system in lieu of sprinklers for such an occupancy but that will take some 
analysis and engineering work to determine suitability or viability of the 
option.

What occupancy should be considered?

Steel building, 25' high with Flight Simulators inside. Engineer has asked that 
no sprinklers be installed directly over simulators which are about 22' in 
diameter. I need to use extended coverage. Occupancy not specified. I am 
leaning toward Ordinary Hazard 1 as minimum.

Am I on the right track or could I consider Light Hazard?
