Sprinklers-Where Required
Sprinklers-Where Required
(OP)
I was trying to find out when the automatic sprinklers are mandatory. On NFPA 1 (section 13.3.2.3), it's written:
"New buildings housing emergency fire, rescue, or
ambulance services shall be protected throughout by approved
automatic sprinkler systems"
My doubt is, if there is some consideration about the size of the building on any other part of the norm. I mean, is this section to be applied no matter the size of building?
Thanks

RE: Sprinklers-Where Required
Is it under residental or similar?? Ibc requires any sleeping area to be sprinkled
RE: Sprinklers-Where Required
13.3.2.3 New buildings housing emergency fire, rescue, or ambulance services shall be protected throughout by approved automatic sprinkler systems.
looks like this section may override
13.3.2.15 New Hotels and Dormitories.
13.3.2.27* New Storage Occupancies.
