You need to calculate 5 ex COV sprinklers at a minimum. You don't have to do 5x324. If they only cover 1400 sq ft for whatever reason so be it. You still calc 5.

DUE TO THE CONFIGUARTION OF THE LIGHTS AND A FEW BUMP OUTS IN THE WALLS. I NEED TO USE FIVE 18x18 EC SPRINKLERS. IF I READ THE CODE CORRECTLY. I NEED TO CALCULATE 5 TIMES 324 SQFT. WHICH IS 1620 SQFT. WONDERING IF I AM READING THIS RIGHT? I DON'T SEE THE ADVANTAGE WHEN I CAN USE 7 STANDARD Q.R. SPRINKLERS TO COVER THE SAME ROOM. 11' CEILINGS MY DESIGN AREA WOULD ONLY BE 923 SQFT. AM I MISSING SOMETHING?
