I'm working on a small office building where only the basement is required to be sprinklered. Single-story with basement, VB construction. I don't know the code path that required basement-only to be sprinklered.
This basement has 2 noncombustible 1-hour rated stairways that lead up to the 1st floor. Normally, we'd sprinkler the tops of these stairs. For a basement-only design, should the tops of these stairways be sprinklered? Project also has a hydraulic elevator. I will be sprinklering the pit, but the top of the shaft meets the criteria for omitting sprinklers, so that's not in question on this project. But lets pretend the top is required to be sprinklered - for a basement-only design, should the top of the shaft be sprinklered? Thanks, Ed K Bamford Fire
