You could use this as an opportunity to sell putting sprinklers in that 50k Sf if they can't meet the fire flow.

I guess I'm wondering if we can pro-rate the unsprinklered percentage. If we use 50k sqft with no credit for sprinklers and 300k sqft at a 75% reduction and add them together or something to that effect.

An intersting question arises..., if it is not fully sprinkled... I believe you do not get the nice reduction?.. Is this what you are looking for ?
