The explanation on page 598 of the handbook 2013 is a bit confusing. I was always under the impression 5 sprinklers. But once I read it again. it does say if you don`t meet the criteria of 11.2.3.2.3 .
thanks for the help.

You need to calculate 5 ex COV sprinklers at a minimum. You don't have to do 5x324. If they only cover 1400 sq ft for whatever reason so be it. You still calc 5.

WHICH IS 1620 SQFT. WONDERING IF I AM READING THIS RIGHT? I DON'T SEE THE ADVANTAGE WHEN I CAN USE 7 STANDARD Q.R. SPRINKLERS TO COVER THE SAME ROOM. 11' CEILINGS MY DESIGN AREA WOULD ONLY BE 923 SQFT. AM I MISSING SOMETHING?
