13R is about protecting people - not the building. A developer typically does not understand the difference between 13 and 13R - and typically does not care. He only cares about what is making him money - or as we are seeing here - what is loosing him money.
Most developers would likely argue that they cannot build to 13 standards because the increased costs would make the property too expensive vs the competition. Is there any large insurance savings to build 13 instead of 13R? If not, should there be? This could be the first - and perhaps only way to get widespread adoption without forcible adoption. ᐧ On Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 11:16 PM, John Drucker <[email protected]> wrote: > > http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2015/02/avalonbay_will_include_more_sprinklers_firewalls_a.html#incart_river > > AvalonBay sprinkler changes in New Jersey > > John Drucker - Mobile Email > [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > Cell/Text 732-904-6823 > _______________________________________________ > Sprinklerforum mailing list > [email protected] > > http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org > _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org
