It depends upon the distance between buildings and the percent of open wall space under the roof.

According to NFPA 13 8.2.4 you can have separate buildings that share a common roof, walls or passageway be protected by one riser. Does anyone know if the IBC contradicts this? I have an architect telling me I have to have a separate riser for each section of building. They claim that I can have the risers in the same room but that each building section must have a separate riser.
