Does anyone have a 13R handbook (I heard last year they were thinking of doing one, but haven't seen anything yet.)
Question has arisen about the meaning of 6.8.2 Design Criteria outside of the dwelling unit. Short version "Protect as per 13." AHJ says that means protect the pool area using 3000 SF design area @ 0.10 and (Here's where we differ seriously) Protect the attic wood truss space above. I believe the intent is that the spaces that would be exempt from sprinkler protection in 13R remain exempt, and only those areas which don't fit the residential requirements of 13R must be protected by as if you were applying 13. So attics, crawl spaces and concealed combustible spaces remain unprotected. Is this how you all see it. (I even question the 3000 SF requirement, because the spaces that drive the 3000 are outside the scope of 13R, and therefore should not affect the areas of 13R that require 13 protection.) Any ideas or comments appreciated. Thom McMahon, SET Firetech, Inc. 2560 Copper Ridge Dr P.O.
