You can only have a maximum of 4 QR sprinklers per dwelling unit, not just compartment. If you need more than 4 standard spray sprinklers, you can't comply with 13R.

It appears as though they can be QR or residential in the 2012 IBC (903.3.2). For some reason I had in my mind that they needed to be residential within the dwelling unit or sleeping unit?? Thanks.
