I have a four storey building with each floor level area of 1200 m2. How many sprinkler zones do we need to cover entire floor area and building.

One Zone Per Floor.

1200 sq meters is 12,917 square foot and the maximum you can have on one floor is 52,000 sq ft.

I am assuming with four floors you have a standpipe with sprinklers supplied from the standpipe.

It is possible to sprinkler the entire building, 12,917 x 4 is less than your 52,000 sq ft maximum but be careful with the local fire official.
