In NFPA-1 Section 13.3.2.2 requires that Basements exceeding 2500 ft2 (232
m2) in new buildings shall be protected throughout by an approved automatic
sprinkler system. Thanks

Wow! So much for life safety? Does the AHJ have a reason for this?

I guess I will have to show my ignorance, I can count on one hand the number of
13D systems I have designed in the last 10 years. This project is a 13D single
family custom home with a basement of 2746 sq. ft. the AHJ is requiring that
the basement be sprinklered, but he isn't requiring the rest of the house to
have sprinklers. Since this would normally be part of a 13D system do I just do
a 2 head calculation and call it done? Or do I calculate a 900 sq. ft. area,
per 13. (It does meet all the criteria for area reduction) My thinking is that
even though the basement could be protected per 13D if the entire house was
covered, since this is a special requirement by the AHJ I should calculate per
13. BTW the 2007 codes are the applicable standards at this time. The owner is
going to have to install tanks and a pump so the difference in demand is a big
deal.
