Now that I looked at §12.3(3) it supports that the extension of the higher demand from an upper level to a lower level isn't required, if that ceiling change is located an aisle of 2' in depth on either side.

For the record, Bruce - what is the concern regarding QR sprinklers?  They're not required for an OH occupancy, right?

    We have a building where there is a roof height that changes
    elevation by 10’-0”.

    The higher roof will have ESFR protection. The lower roof will be
    ordinary hazard.

    I would like to utilize extended coverage sprinkler heads at the
    lower roof on a spacing of 20’-0” x 20’-0”

    This spacing voids the QR rating of the extended coverage sprinkler.

    I thought that there was something in the code that I cannot find
    where it talks of change in roof height.

    So my question is would the change in roof height serve at a draft
    curtain between the 2 systems.
