I'm designing a NFPA 13 system in a 6 story hotel. Level one contains the lobby, kitchen, offices, exercise rooms, mechanical rooms, etc.. On the East end of the building will be shell coverage for future restaurants/fast food joints. Levels 2-6 will be guestrooms. I will be performing the following calcs:
1- .1 / 1500 sq. ft for Lobby Areas
2- .15 / 1500 sq. ft. For the shell coverage for future restaurants
3- .1 / 4 Most demanding adjacent residential heads on level 6
4- Standpipe #1 & #2 Calcs.
My question is, on the calculations for the lobby area would I include the heads in a mechanical room/Laundry room/Kitchen area if they fall in my remote area? Or should I not include them and calculate those rooms separately? If I do calculate those rooms separately, would I have to add additional heads from surrounding light hazard areas to satisfy the 1500 sq ft. requirement?
