Jeff,
I'm kind of curious how you've decided that 30,000 square foot per
floor exceeds the allowable floor space per riser. Aren't the values in
8.2.1 supposed to be applied to any one floor area?

I would respectfully disagree with the below analogy.
Example: (4) Story building consisting of 30K SF per floor
Single lead-in supply- combo standpipe with floor controls.
How can it be considered a single system when it exceeds the allowable
floor space per riser?
Just sayin’

/I have to disagree with this analysis that a floor control valve
defines a system. A floor control valve is not even defined
individually in 2013 whereas a sprinkler system is (no mention of
floor control valves) as are control valves. As always, I would
consider a system to be what it has always been and the addition of
the required floor control valve and associated requirements on
systems in multi-story buildings just nationally codifies a common
practice hereabouts of building a system that has isolatable floors.
This way an entire large building does not need to be drained to make
a repair or for a T.I., leaves fore protection in service on floors
not effected and also conserves water. I'm open to an argument that
changes my mind but this one doesn't./
