Or space the heads 8' x 8', calc to 15'x15', and tell them they need to keep walls a minimum of 6" off the heads....nice COR :)

How could you space sprinklers based on a potentially changing "wall" layout? If there is a distinct possibility that these panels can be rearranged, and in order to be able to provide a sprinkler layout that would be fixed for the open space I would inform the tenant that the height of the partitions needs to be lowered to allow a clearance of at least 18"-24" below the ceiling. Panels at 7'-6" would help with sprinkler issues and would probably be of benefit to the HVAC distribution as well. Otherwise install 4ft flexheads (or equal) so that they can be moved around to accommodate any changes in position of the panels. Craig L.
