Without knowing what edition of 13 and what building code, I'd be calc'g one row of heads the length of your remote area at .3gpm/linear foot, adding it to the calc for the OH system. In the small rooms, pick up .3GPM/linear ft for the heads in that room.
I think you were on the right track. I'm taking a different approach in one today, excluding it cause I'm in conceptual stage (25% dwgs) and can. George L.

I am assuming some of you guys have already dealt with this. He has called for SSP heads - not listed window sprinklers - on both sides of the wall. He is fuzzy in his logic for calculating them however and frankly so am I. One side is 3 floors of glass so it is one huge compartment, the other side is split into offices, so there are only 1-3 window sprinklers in each room. How do we calc the atrium on the big room side - as a water curtain balanced with the OH system? In the small rooms, do we just do a most demanding room calc and include the window sprinklers? Thanks for the help.
