So I got something thrown my way recently that's got my curiosity.  A new
one on me.

Existing 2 family 2 story home (slab on grade) with a variance for an ADU
(additional dwelling unit).

2015 IBC, 2013 NFPA.  AHJ decision states:

"1F+ADU's do not need to sprinkle the ADU.

2+ADU may use tank system (NFPA 13D).

3+ADU must have a water line to the street (NFPA 13).

It is preferred that you install a sprinkler system in common areas when

Installing a sprinkler system in the ADU."

Plans show converting what's called a "Bonus Room" on the first floor into a
Kitchen, Bedroom and Closet by means of a few new walls.

Would you treat this a vanilla 2 head design D system with pump and tank (10
minutes vs. 20)?

Thanks,

Tom Duross
