Is there anything in NFPA that allows omission of sprinklers in combustible mansards or similar features built on the outside of a building? I have a project in which these decorative features are being built on the roof to hide mechanicals and at the top floor along the outside wall to give a "castle tower" effect. No mechanicals inside, just dead space separated from the main building by either a wall or a roof. I have told the GC to fill them with non-combustible insulation but there is a cornice that that is 2ftx2ft (actually ½ because it looks like a triangle) that will be framed with 2X6 16in OC that will look like a ledge for the windows. He is asking if it also needs insulation. My gut feeling is no because it is such a small area.
