Roland, I agree with your assessment. A floor does not constitute a 'system' in my opinion. One system can supply a 10-story building. If not, why would a mezzanine not be included in the sq. footage of a '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?
