Although I disagree with his reasoning, I would say a set of calc's IS
required for the second system. It's a documentation thing and each
system stands alone so I would want that Xeroxed copy labelled system
2 in the system 2 file. Having said that, I would not require a calc
for each floor if a hi-rise (cause I don't consider each floor a stand
alone system). A separate calc would be required if one floor was
different (hazard class, pipe arrangement, type of sprinkler etc) just
like if you change a portion of a horizontal system.
What's the view of the Forum on whether a floor is a system?

His argument was that I didn't understand calcs, it needed
to be done because the design areas were at separate ends of the
building. I didn't argue since the time it took to Xerox the single
calc and mark one set system 1 and the other system 2 was worth the
laugh over this guy "understanding ho calcs work."
