I believe the UL Listing for ESFR precludes draftstops. Vents are not required and need to be a higher temperature if provided.

They asked me if making the entire building ESFR would make a difference in the vents and draft stops. Right now there is a preliminary site plan only.

If there has, that should have revealed what is required. Any reason to use ESFR throughout? Craig L.

And if we use ESFR's throughout the entire building are they required? I read that they are (2006 IBC 910) but I'm not sure if there are exceptions elsewhere?
