Interesting questions yes, but the standard talks only about the # of levels of protection, not the gross area of the design overhead.

He's correct in the increase in area of 30%, per 12.5.1, but the question remains, if we have in-rack sprinklers, do we increase the number of them flowing in a dry system calculation? If so, why? If not, why not? The table Scot referenced doesn't allow the use of CMDA sprinklers without in-racks as well, so what do we do about the number flowing in the calc? Anyone have input on the answer?
