Storage is commodity specific.  Depending on the commodity you might be 
directed to use OH2 or EH1.  Depending on what's being stored NFPA 13 might not 
even be the applicable Standard.  Storage requires some research and a lot of 
questions.

Subject: RE: Calcs-How much margin

So are you saying storage is not OH? (I know not all storage is necessarily
OH) 

Are we creating a new category? LH, OHI, OHII, EXI EHII and Storage? 

Not that I think that's a bad idea.
