Why are you putting standpipes in a single story building?    Not required by 
code unless you get into some extreme egress pathway distance scenarios...

Hi everyone

According to NFPA-14 if the building exceed 80,000ft2 i must add another stand 
pipe with 500gpm and in case of a third sytand pipe add another 250 (for 
unsprinklered buildings).
Is this just for vertcial buildings to consider standpipes on each level? Or, 
if i have a 1 floor building but exceeding the 80,000ft2 i must have 2 stand 
pipes on the same floor considering the floor area is 150,000ft2?
