On second reading, if you're saying the LH areas have a ceiling but the mechanical rooms don't then 8.15.22 does apply, in which case the higher area is the roof deck, which means you provide the protection for the mechanical room at the deck and for 24' in any direction away from the mechanical room over the ceiling of the LH space. -Mike Morey, SET Sprinkler Designer BMW Constructors, Inc. office: 317-651-0596 mobile: 317-439-2695

The architect was vague so the GC is not putting in ceilings nor is he running the walls up to the deck. I have been reading and rereading chapter 8 of 13 -2010 edition, and I cannot conclusively determine what we are required to do in this case. The description in 8.15.22.1 is not exactly correct so I can't see clearly... Does anybody have a cut and dry answer?
