I 2nd what Matt says. Don't forget that it is the building code that
determines the standards to be used. If an architect uses the fire
sprinkler system to increase the building area, you are going NFPA 13
regardless if it is residential occupancy or not. A 13R system can only
be used to inc
If your under NFPA 101, you need the # of occupants, and their ability to
evacuate under their own power.
I think it's like 33.2.3.5.2.1 or .2 and some allow 13D or R, generally read
chapter 33.

Be sure to check and see if it is an R or I occupancy. Around here, those are
typically done to 13 due to the occupants' reduced ability to flee a fire.
