John, This strikes me as inconsistent. Although the sprinkler throughout is from NFPA 13 once sprinklers are required by IBC then IBC says to use 13 as the standard (with a couple of modifications) and I would then interpret 13 to be a part Section 903 which as much code weight as any other section or sub-section in IBC. I'd read this that section X allows a partial system for purposes of area reduction but 903 does not allow partial systems. Now hopefully somebody like Matthew Broderick can point out something in 903 that supersedes and allows partial systems by explicitly amending 13 for this purpose and gets me out of this conundrm. And extra credit to the first one that figures out why Matthew Broderick.
