Assuming this is wood construction, have him look at IBC 717.  Preferably a 
copy with the commentary.  Covers draft stopping, fire blocking etc for attics, 
concealed spaces, architectural trim etc.

We do dozens of buildings every year where this space is not sprinklered.

Subject: Roof Parapet Protection

I have an architect that is insisting that the space above the roof line caused 
by the kickers supporting the parapet walls needs to be sprinkled.
Has anyone had any experience with this ?
