I think it would be a one head calc (assuming only one head per balcony and they are not contiguous), but it is 5 AM and no coffee yet.

I need a quick opinion from some 13R experts.
13r condo with the first floor divided in half front to back and then the front half is divided into 4 parking areas seperated by fire walls. The front wall is completely open and each garage serves 2 units. 6.8.2.2 states that each compartment can nothave openings greater than 50 sq.ft. I am interpreting this to mean openings into adjacent compartments not to the atmosphere and therefore a 4 head calc would be appropriate using dry heads flowing in accordance with NFPA 13R.
Thoughts please...
