Hii. Thaanx for the quick replies. As Mr Todd guessed ,its a living quarters for workers and in Dubai we are following NFPA standards. The problem I face is that I had made my calculations for the sprinkler based on NFPA 13 and with occupancy hazard as Light Hazard. But our Client just crossed it :( and said its an Ordinary hazard Group 2. I checked NFPA ,But couldnt see such a thing. Have I missed something.??
