FM has done limited testing looking at the high ceiling issue for the
occupancy hazard approach and has some guidance. It does show that
sprinklers activate with fires much smaller than what the models say
are required. Guess that's one of the reasons to look at the
validated boundaries on models before placing too much faith in their
predictions.

How effective are sprinklers located at a ceiling of a 70' high

The building is metal construction, nothing is really capable of
burning.
Designing for light hazard. Sprinklers are being provided mainly
for life
safety. What am I missing (ie it doesn't feel like its going to
work).
