The dry portion below the attic was laid out at max 15x15 spacing with the lines at 15ft above the floor. The way the rooms layout there are long runs with 8ft ceilings so I was going to drop down once to feed all these rooms with one line but I still need to size it. This reviewer will still make us calculate the residential build out portion. I can get by with a 1 1/4" line calculating 4 heads.

They are turning this floor into a dormitory (R-2). 1)Can I use listed residential heads on return bends and only pick up 4 heads per 11.3.1.1 or will I need to pick up 1950SF? What if there are incidental areas such as a laundry room, ect. in the same areas as the dorm rooms? 2)What would be the required trip time be per Table 7.2.3.6.1? 15sec for residential or 60sec for light hazard?
