Subject: Roof Deck

Ok..this may be a stupid question, but here goes:

If I have concrete tee construction, what can I use as the roof deck.  I
have an area with 28' to bottom of deck and 26'-2" to bottom of tee.  If
I
can use the bottom of tee as the maximum ceiling height, then I can use
0.60
gpm  density using Tyco k17-231 sprinklers.  If I need to use 28', then
the
density goes to 0.80 gpm / sq ft.  This is a retrofit, and the existing
system works with 0.60, but does not work with 0.80.  I am looking for
something to justify the 0.60 gpm as being adequate.
