Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2014 1:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Clouds Have we figured anything out yet? I got asked today: What if you have a non-combustable structure with clouds 16" below the ceiling? Can you just have everything drop down under the clouds? Well, uh...yes, but maybe not, well..., I don't know for sure. Maybe use obstruction rules...? But, for discharge or heat collection? Probably both, but what the hell is a cloud in the book? So what do you guys think. Or better yet, what does the book say and where? And how did you arrive at that conclusion? -- Ron Greenman Instructor Fire Protection Engineering Technology Bates Technical College 1101 So.
