I am designing a fire alarm system for a 3 story building. Each floor is 800 by 300 feet and has a raised floor throughout with a supply air plenum and the entire ceiling is a return air plenum. The building has a complete sprinkler system with the sprinkler heads mounted in the ceiling tiles. It is my understanding that smoke detectors need to be installed in the underfloor air plenum, but I am unsure if smoke detectors have to be installed in the ceiling plenum as the sprinkler heads are installed below this plenum space. Thoughts?
