It can be R or I occupancy. It doesn't matter. It is the fact you are
protecting a dwelling unit with a dry pipe system.
7.2.3.6.3 For dry pipe systems protecting dwelling unit portions of any
occupancy, the sprinklers in the dwelling unit shall have a maximum
water delivery time of 15 seconds to the
single most remote sprinkler.
It seems like you have 15 seconds regardless. Now, if you have a dry
pipe valve on the first floor and I believe you said these were on the
5th floor, it seems quite unlikely you will get 15 seconds. My
suggestion is to find a way to supply these sprinklers in the dwelling
units from a wet pipe system.

That was one of my concerns also. R-2 floor occupancy, calculating it
per light hazard but using residential heads. If the R-2 occupancy is
what would dictate the 15sec delivery time then it wouldn’t matter
what type of heads I used in the residential areas.

Double check delivery times. I think you need a 15 second delivery
time in residential areas.

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.

If I'm understanding
The roof system is unchanged and your adding a lower supply to be
rooms.
Use standard qr heads and same pipe sizes
The roof is still most demanding

NFPA 13 (07ed)
I have an existing 5th floor shell space that is installed as a light
hazard dry system that has pipe in the shell space and in the
attic. 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?
Thanks,
