That would go down the rabbit hole of sprinklers in interstitial spaces and 
attics that would not be good on this project.

Subject: RE: Domestic Demands 13R

I understand you said you are designed per 13R, but since you have a large 
lead-in of 4" have you tried to use "the more stringent 13 standard" that 
essentially says UG mains less than 4" that are for fire/domestic you have to 
calculate both unless you have a way to automatically isolate the non-fire. 
Implying 4" and larger it isn't a concern. You main spin down a rabbit hole of 
13 vs 13R and cross applications. But it may be worth a shot. I am referencing 
from NFPA 13 (2016) http://24.1.3.3

Thanks,
Sean VG

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Domestic Demands 13R

Forumites:

Per 13R 9.6 it requires the domestic demand for the building being calculated 
to be added to the fire sprinkler system. This is generally not an issue. If 
you have a complex of say 20 buildings on site that is supplied by a common 
water line serving both domestic and fire, are you required to include the 
domestic demand for each building on the site water main.

For example, if I have a project with a 8" main going through the complex, and 
4" lead-ins to each building, with a domestic demand of 125 gpm for each 
building, how are you doing the domestic demand? With the domestic / fire split 
in the building, it is required to include the 125 gpm demand in addition to 
the fire sprinkler system demand in the 4" line. Are you including the other 
2375 gpm (19 additional buildings at 125 gpm domestic allowance), in your 
calculations back to the city main?

This seems quite excessive. If it were a 13 system, you would have similar 
flows and a 100 gpm hose allowance. There is no requirement in this example to 
include the domestic in a 13 system. But, if you are required to include the 
additional 2375 gpm, that could be quite taxing on the site supply. Again, how 
is everyone handling it.

We have seen AHJ's take both approaches on this.
