I think this room is remote from the building. Would have to cross unconditioned space to reach it.

The only options I'm aware of are either a dry system, preaction system, or an anti-freeze loop. Since either option would only be serving a single sprinkler head, I found that in NFPA 13, 2007 section 8.16.4, listed heat tracing is allowed but must be specifically listed for use on branch lines and must be supervised, and specifically listed for use on branch lines. Of course, this head is at the end of the system, so I'm wondering if there's anything that wouldn't have to be traced all the way back to the riser. I'm also wondering if this would even apply since we're using NFPA 13R on this project. Thanks in advance for your help.
