I have an A-3 building with a small second floor space used the same as the 1st floor as A-3 with an occupant load of less than 50.
Would the occupant load allow the second floor to be considered a B occupancy and avoid sprinklers for an A on the second floor?
Can they provide a 2 hr separation and avoid the sprinklers?
I would say no, but it sounds like it may have some promise.
