Self Closing Doors

Will the mechanical room which has all the chillers be considered hazardous space? If it will be, do we need to provide self closing doors in this room for this credit?

The mechanical room is not considered a hazardous space, unless there is some specific emission beyond the ordinary. The credit is designed to address chemical processes, and other contaminants introduced into the space by either operations or equipment (i.e. printers/copiers).

Due note that chiller rooms are considered hazardous by code. So consult your local code regarding continuous and purge exhaust for chiller rooms.
