Neither. It's the flow you need for a building. You might get it from a muni or private. Absolutely nothing to do with sprinklers except you get a reduction if building is sprinklered.

Is the available flow rate and residual pressure referenced, intended to describe these values of the municipal or private water supply available to the building site? Or, the minimum output of any fire pump associated specifically with the automatic sprinkler system in the building? Any takers? Questions? Clarifications? Thanks for any answers.
