If I’m understanding these sections correctly, the occupancy above only really makes a difference for porte-cocheres (9.2.3.2.1).
Otherwise, I think the need for sprinkler protection or not is determined by construction type (combustible vs non-combustible), presence/storage of combustibles, etc. -Kyle M From: Ken Wagoner <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2023 11:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Sprinklerforum] Re: canopy with occupancy above 9. 3. 19 and 9. 3. 20 in the '22 edition.

Is there a code requirement for this? Is it just something that people have become used to doing? I have looked around and I just can't find it! Thanks!
