Forum, How 'bout the thousands of nursing homes installed by this industry over the past 50 years? Most located north of I-10 have dry pipe systems protecting attic spaces with dry pendent heads below. All light hazard. How did that happen? Have this AHJ produce chapter and verse. Good luck.

Now I'd bet very few areas are cold and light hazard. Well except attics. Ask how one does an attic. I wonder if they are linking cold is not light usually. It's annex so don't think I'm agreeing just thinking of something out of the box.

I've looked through the standard a few times and can't put my finger on anything close.
