For what it’s worth, this is a link to a document that the Colorado Fire Marshals put together regarding marijuana facilities and the fire code. It goes through fire code requirements and how they play given a marijuana facility. I offer it to help offer a more broader view of MJ facilities to the sprinkler industry.
https://csfd.coloradosprings.gov/sites/csfd.coloradosprings.gov/files/marijuana_guidance_document_v.3_2016_04_27.pdf One thing that I realized as a result of this thread, is more insight/info should be considered for the document regarding fire sprinkler systems and their design. So this thread has helped me in that regard. Regarding terminology, the document has a list of defined terms. Course these may change from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

What is the building be used for? 1. Is it Green House? just for growing 2. Extracting Oil from plants? with chemicals? What Chemicals are being used stored........... 3. Storage ? Bales, processed oil, boxed, in cardboard plastic, Racks, general storage? This is just a starting point questions. Arch/Engineers, AHJ's are going to need to provide details.

But, has anyone that is sprinklering these MJ facilties run into this: "Provide a letter from a state licensed PE or Consulting Firm approved by the City of XXXXXXX, that supports the fire sprinkler design assumptions. The letter shall be signed (wet) and address the design assumptions that includes the use of CO2 enrichment, flammable liquids/gasses, and hazardous waste and the impact that includes the overall Heat Release Rate (HRR) and the ability of the fire sprinkler system to suppress a fire. Reference 2016 state fire code section xxx.x.x" I used xxx to block out any reference to the particular project. Any ideas on this stuff. We were hired to just design the system per OH2. This is going to get interesting. -- Travis Mack, SET MFP Design, LLC 2508 E Lodgepole Drive Gilbert, AZ 85298 480-505-9271 fax: 866-430-6107 email:[email protected]<mailto:email:[email protected]> http://www.mfpdesign.com<http://www.mfpdesign.com/> https://www.facebook.com/pages/MFP-Design-LLC/92218417692 Send large files to us via: https://www.hightail.com/u/MFPDesign LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travismack [https://ipmcdn.avast.com/images/icons/icon-envelope-tick-green-avg-v1.png]<http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient> Virus-free. www.avg.com<http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient> _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org
