What does the IBC say? If there were townhouses (not since units
divided per floor), then a 13D could be used with minimal rated
separation per the IRC. The code drives the allowed type of system,
not how small you make each individual system. Make sure the tamper
switches are electrically monitored so it is known when one of the
risers in the middle of the building is shut-down.

I have a residential complex consisting of two story units with two

however in
this case the owner wants each unit to have it's own seperate riser
control,
it's own underground feed etc... each unit is 100% independant from
the
others. In this case could this system be calculated to 13D criteria
(2 head
calc) seeing how each system is serving only one family's unit? What
do you
think?
Thanks,
