I thought it was insertion, not inversion. Amazing what you can learn
on the Forum.

The reduction in design area has nothing to do with the likelihood of a
fire, it is related to the ability of the sprinkler system to control
the fire....period. This is a great example of the reviewer suffering
rectal cranial inversion.
I will bet that in typical RJA fashion the review was littered with
statements-of-the-obvious that have nothing to do with deficiencies in
your design like: comply with NFPA 13, follow the obstruction rules,
take an umbrella if its raining... and all of the other fluff and filler
they use to make their reviews appear extensive.

I would like the take from the PE's on forum on how to deal with a plan
review comment from an unnamed engineering firm (RJA).
"Due to the higher than normal potential for a fire in the occupant
sleeping and common areas, the reduction in fire are (remote area) for
quick response sprinkler in accordance with NFPA #13 Figure 11.2.3.2.3.1
is not a good engineering practice. Please revise the hydraulic
calculation to account for at least the minimum 1500 square foot design
area as specified by NFPA #13."
The hazard is a dormitory at a minimum security prison.
