Water Requirements for Non-Hangar protection (offices, etc)

NFPA 14 - 5-9.1.3 Combined Systems.
5-9.1.3.1*For a building protected throughout by an approved automatic sprinkler system, the system demand established by Section 5-7 and 5-9.1
also shall be permitted to serve the sprinkler system. A separate sprinkler demand shall not be required.

Exception : Where the sprinkler system water supply requirement, including the hose stream allowance as determined in accordance with NFPA 13,
Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, exceeds the system demand established by Section 5-7 and 5-9.1,
the larger of the two values shall be provided.
The flow rate required for the standpipe demand of a combined system in a building protected throughout by an automatic sprinkler system
shall not be required to exceed 1000 gpm (3785 L/min) unless required by the authority having jurisdiction.

WATER REQUIREMENTS ACCORDING TO NFPA 14

5-9 Minimum Flow Rates.

5-9.1 Class I and Class III Systems.
5-9.1.1* Minimum Flow Rate.
For Class I and Class III systems, the minimum flow rate for the hydraulically most remote standpipe shall be 500 gpm (1893 L/min). The minimum flow rate
for additional standpipes shall be 250 gpm (946 L/min) per standpipe, with the total not to exceed 1250 gpm (4731 L/min). For combined systems, see 5-9.1.3.
Exception : When the floor area exceeds 80,000 ft2 (7432 m2), the second most remote standpipe shall be designed to accommodate 500 gpm (1893 L/min).

7-2 Minimum Supply for Class I and Class III Systems.

The water supply shall be sufficient to provide the system demand established by Section 5-7 and 5-9.1 for at least 30 min

WATER REQUIREMENTS ACCORDING TO NFPA 13

NFPA 13 - Chapter 11 Design Approaches - 11-1 General.
11.1.1 Water demand requirements shall be determined from the following:
1- Occupancy hazard fire control approach
2- Storage design approaches of Chapter 12
3- Special design approaches of Chapter 13
NFPA 101 - APPENDIX A Explanatory Material A-2-1.1
Ordinary 2

NFPA 13 - 11.2.3 Water Demand Requirements — Hydraulic Calculation Methods.

11.2.3.1 General - 11.2.3.1.1
The minimum water supply requirements for a hydraulically designed occupancy hazard fire
control sprinkler system shall be determined by adding the hose stream demand from
Table 11.2.3.1.1 to the water supply for sprinklers determined in 11.2.3.1.5.

Table 11.2.3.1.1 Hose Stream Demand and Water Supply Duration Requirements for Hydraulically Calculated Systems
Occupancy Inside Hose (gpm) Total Combined Inside & Outside Hose Duration
Light Hazard 0, 50, or 100 100 30
Ordinary Hazard 0, 50, or 100 250 60 - 90
Extra Hazard 0, 50, or 100 500 90 - 120
