As mentioned I have been designing and project management in CT for 30 years. I have been involved with at least 40 group homes. In CT it falls under 13D with all rooms covered. It's in the state building code. The notes I supplied is from a project we just completed

At the very least they are a 13R hazard. Even if they are in a standard home. Is there no engineer of record on this project? And why would a fire sprinkler designer be worried about a back up power source? Is there a permanent back up generator on site? If so did the salesperson who bid the project not exclude a transfer switch (being that it’s only a 13R system)? I have so many questions about this.

They propose to install a pump and tank system. Would a back up power supply be required for this? I have never been asked about it but can’t find much that addresses it.
