Agreed. The key is: is this a true dormitory? If each unit has individual cooking capabilities then it is an apartment.

If you are on the 2007 edition of NFPA 13, see 21.20.19.2.1. This takes precedence over NFPA 13 based on 21.1.1.2.

Good morning Forum, I'm working on a 8 story dormitory and going by NFPA 13 2010 Edition. The building is entirely dorm rooms and common area activity areas. So I'm taking exception 8.15.8.1 for bathrooms under 55 sq ft. Then there's 8.15.8.2 for closets under 24 sq ft. I can't take this since it's only indicated for hotels/motels. Correct? I'd love to haha. But anyway I can't remember for the life of me where in 101, I believe it is, that limits closets to 12 sq ft. I usually go by that because it's good to take the most stringent of the two. But I can't find it and wanted to re-read it to see what occupancy it related to, only 13R or others. Just so perhaps I could use that rule to eliminate some. Any help locating that? Maybe it was in the IBC Fire Code, I honestly forget at this point. _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org
