Selection of Sprinkler Zones
Selection of Sprinkler Zones
(OP)
Good Morning Everyone, Just getting back into sprinkler design after some time, I have an Ordinary group II warehouse (25000 sq ft) with 1st and 2nd floor offices at the front of the building (1350 Sq ft).
Would the office have to be on a separate zone? Where can I read more about this?
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Anyway, with regard to the question, a single system can protect up to 52k sq ft per NFPA 13, but only 40k sq ft of EH and storage criteria. So, you can have 40k sq ft of storage and 12k sq ft of office and still have a single system, but 45k sq ft of storage is going to be 2 systems. Now, if you are under FM criteria, the system area limitation has been removed. You are only limited by hydraulic calculations and practical installations. Sure, you may be able to do a single system of 1M sq ft, but 12" mains and 4" branch lines would not be very cost effective.
