I am calculating a redesign for some apartments on the 18th floor of a building. 13 system; commercial QR sprinklers. There are a lot of closets and small rooms within the area. If I calculate the 900 sqft with the QR reduction, I am calculating 13 sprinklers. If I calculate 1500 sqft and can eliminate the closet sprinklers from the calc, I am also flowing 13 sprinkler, but have few heads per branch line and therefore the system requires less water. The 900 sqft is actually more demanding, in this case. Is this something that should be checked for in calculating the most hydraulically remote area?
