On the non-typical grids it's pretty easy to identify your most demanding
area. I just calc it w/o auto peak activated and submit. For grid systems
with more typical spacing I'll peak it but have rarely ever had the
hydraulic program correct my first attempt.
Not to be sarcastic, but I’ve never found a clause in NFPA 13 that says you
don’t have to calculate something because it is time consuming.
I just take it and shift the remote area right and left to prove. With most
software packages today, doing extra calcs for peaking is usually pretty
Is there anything in NFPA 13 that discusses auto peaking if you have a grid
in let's say an office space that is all cut up? Seems almost impossible to
do it without drawings remote areas manually and calculating several groups
of rooms.
