I'm a little confused by that too, Mark, since the CFC (California has
to have their own, you see), clearly makes reference to NFPA 13D being
an acceptable equivalent to the guidelines presented in the CFC. It
would seem the design could follow 13D, and still be in conformance with
the CRC (or IRC). Is the building code taking the position that it will
address the design of sprinkler systems for single family residences,
even though there is a residential code covering the same topic?
Worth looking into.

Just for my benefit, if the building is a single family residence, and
13D is the design standard, wouldn’t the locally adopted building code
need to recognize some form of the IRC, and not so much the IBC for
this application?

Slow down Amigo. Before withdrawing from the fun, consider the following:
A - we will never all agree
B - just because something is said with enthusiasm, it doesn’t make it
right (otherwise I’d never be wrong)
C - the building code trumps the standard so knowing what it says
(when it’s applicable) and applying it, is rather important (if you
want to avoid a beating)
D - return to your corners and continue a clean fight

I was just wanting to help out. Since I have designed to 13R and
13D and once submitted they rejected saying that although it met
13R or 13D but not IBC.
Sorry for trying to help. I'll just read what the experts post and
keep my opinion to myself.
