Stephen,
then that's a completely different issue than I originally believed from your initial comments. I'm in agreement with Steve Leyton, this space would be similar to a mansard, and unless that insulation was there, I don't know how it could be allowed to omit sprinklers.

Just found out that the areas in question were to be filled with insulation, but now no insulation.

Those spaces can be quite substantial so how would you NOT sprinkle them when they don't fall under NFPA 13's omissions?

Stephen,
Yes, I had an architect ask for something like that a few years back on a design in Nevada. He was quite adamant that it was necessary. The price my contract client gave him for adding something like that which was not covered by either 13 or the IFC suddenly resulted in an epiphany that maybe it wasn't required.
    Has he given you some code reference to support what he's asked for?

    Has anyone had any experience with this ?
