If the project is required to be designed to NFPA 13, compartmentalizing
the combustible attic is not one of the methods listed in NFPA 13 to
allow for omission of sprinklers in a concealed combustible space.

I have a scenario where the architect is trying to eliminate the requirement
for sprinkler protection in a combustible wood framed attic. This is an
13,000sqft I-4 occupancy. The architect is saying they will be
compartmentalizing the attic into less than 3,000sqft fire areas with the
use of draft curtains. My question is, can the architect do this and still
be code compliant without attic fire protection?
Thanks.
