It is in an old warehouse being converted to apartments, while retaining the 2x10 exposed joists, so Residential Heads cannot be used.
I would probably just use the room design method with all of the heads at the top plus 2 heads in the corridor, but what about the heads below the loft? They are exposed to the high area. I know you do not have to calculate both the high heads and the heads underneath obstructions normally, but something does not seem right with what I was planning.
Anybody have any good ideas? Greg Lindholm
