Question concerning NFPA #13r having to do with exterior combustible awning.

[SprinklerDesigner2]

The building itself is over 120 years old and being converted to a residential occupancy. It is a single story building.

It does have an existing system that was installed around 1912 that will be totally demolished and replaced with a new 13r system.

The registered architect told me the system would be a per NFPA #13r and the type of construction is VB.

The walls are brick but the roof is all combustible wood.

We have a front awning that is obviously of combustible construction.

6.6.5* Except as provided for in 6.6.5.1, sprinklers shall not be required in any of the following features that are open and attached:
(1) Lanais
(2) Porches
(3) Balconies
(4) Carports
(5) Porte cocheres
(6) Stairs
(7) Corridors that are open to the outside atmosphere and are separated from the exit stairwell
(8) Other similar features

6.6.5.1 Where a roof or deck is provided above, sprinklers shall be installed to protect attached exterior balconies, attached exterior decks, and ground floor patios serving dwelling units in buildings of Construction Type V.

The way I interpret 6.6.5.1 I wouldn't have to provide sprinkler protection to the awning as we are not dealing with floors above, balconies or exterior decks.

Am I right?
