That's pretty much what I told them. Until this thread came up.

So according to this thread, they must replace all the sprinklers at the ceiling with QR sprinklers. Seems like an added expense that's not really needed. I can't seem to put my finger on the thought that the sprinkler system "knows" what hazard is below and what it's protecting. If it's good for OH GP II why would it not be good for OH GR I or LH? Are ya'll trying to say that if they put in a EH water-spray deluge system, in this building it wouldn't put out a LH fire?
