I have four generators inside a generator room. what kind of fire detection (i.e. heat or smoke detectors) should i provide according to NFPA 72, IBC 2009, etc. i've been looking through this codes and i can't find the answer. a sprinkler system is not going to be installed. please help. i am sorry if this is not the right forum.

thanks.
 
IBC 2009 Section 907.2 (Where required-new buildings and structures.) tells you what needs what based on the application or occupancy.

If it is a regular low-rise Group B occupancy, you might not need automatic detection at all.
