Hello Tim,
I don't have the book in front of me, but no the K factor does not have to be
the same. It calls for the same temperature heads in the same area. K factors
are different in a lot of rooms for different coverage areas.

I have a half-wall that separates an office area from a warehouse area. The
design is for K factors of 8.0 inside warehouse area, and 5.6 inside office
area. But since the halfwall doesn’t reach the deck the area above the office
area protected from the ceiling must have same k-factor as warehouse correct?
Can anyone point that out in NFPA 13 as a code reference?
