Fire Flow Calculation

[firesprinklerman]

How would the total required fire flow be determined? We have a 200,000 sqft. hospital addition added to an existing 150,000 sqft building with 50,000 sqft not sprinklered. Construction is Type I-FR.

If you're a sprinkler layout tech I don't think you want to go there.
