Tom, Why is it out of 13D? Because it's a "Waiting Room"? Isn't it still in a structure the size of a SFD? Has the fuel load increased significantly? How high is the ceiling?
Maybe I just need more information, but it seems a two sprinkler calculation may still be appropriate. Scott Futrell Go Twins (and we've got beer AND mixed drinks!)

The Owner, a psyche has decided to move his practice home and make the Basement his Office. I'm a little concerned about the big open waiting area he wants to make, 5 heads to cover. It was all cut up before, no more than 2 heads per room, finished. It's clearly out of 13D criteria and I can't support even 4 heads, I tried, even with minimum spacing. Plus, the service is already in so I can't ask to have it increased. I did tell him tamper switches were required and some real sort of fire alarm (we were just putting in a bell and interconnecting the smokes plus his security system to the flow switch). I've told him we have a problem so he wants to do it later. I need to write him a letter to posture and protect myself because we're going forward with the family room, in-law bedroom and toilet, and storage rooms as drawn. Anybody done this? Thanks Campers!
