See chapter 43 of NFPA 101. The category of renovation, modification, etc. must first be defined (43.2.2). That will tell you if you can use the new or existing chapters. This of course, should have been done by the AE team.

This must be something I forgot or never had to look up, usually when I've done residential it has been straight 13R/13D so a Dormitory is kinda new for me. It seems you can for existing Hotel/Dormitories still. 13, 2010 (D.12.20.18.2.1) This is a renovation, so dumb question, would a renovation stand as an existing Dorm? I guess it would depend on the extent of the renovation. On Aug 6, 2014, at 6:53 PM, Duane Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: > That is for apartments, not dormitories.
