The only code cited was 8.6.4.1.3 but this is concerning pendent heads and
we were designing using sidewalls and throwing across the area.

Subject: Solarium

I am designing a system for a board and care facility and am having some
issues with the fire marshal. Down the hall where the bedrooms are is a
large skylight. The dimensions are 16'x40'x3', which is 637 sq ft and a
pitch of 12:4. The skylight and frame are all non-combustible. Right now the
design has three extended coverage heads below the opening. They wanted us
to put heads up at the apex of the window but through an exception now want
us to put smoke detectors at the top and 10 (ten) heads around the sides.
Does this sound unreasonable to anyone else?
