Thanks. How do you determine the cost of operating a heat trace system?

I have a client that is renovating an uninsulated 30,000 SF shed warehouse. He does not want to heat the building. Dry system requirements for solid piled storage over 25Ft high in 35 Ft. high building are not available. I am pushing for an ESFR wet system in a heated building. Rather than heating an uninsulated building owner suggests we heat the sprinkler pipe with heat cable and 1” insulation. This method is in 13. Tyco has a system to apply heating cable to branch lines and cross mains. In over 50 years I have never seen or heard of heat tracing being done. I think it is a mistake due to reliability and cost There must be reasons this heating method is not being installed on a sprinkler system. What arguments can I use to avoid this method of keeping a wet grid system from freezing.
