I have an atrium/lobby where the engineer is asking for OH1 for the balconies surrounding the atrium on first and second floors. There is no glass separating the balcony from the atrium. Third floor balcony has LH with a glass wall with Tyco window sprinklers only on the balcony side. The atrium ceiling has a .45/2500 with a max spacing of 10' x 10' using a 11K QR ELO-231 sprinkler. This whole thing that was dreamed up is based on some FM data and is to control buoyant smoke in the atrium and the balconies. I personally think it's wacked and overkill. I have PDF's of the engineers concept drawings if anyone is interested. Is this a bad attempt to play an FPE? I am bidding this project and I would like to bring it back to reality and give some value engineering.
