Welcome


Your question has to many variables to answer here.

Plus someone would need to look at plans.

You need to hire a fire protection engineer or similar, to give you the answers.

This is a problem for the Registered Design Professional to work out based on required sprinkler density as assigned in NFPA 13 or the applicable standard adopted in your location

 

[Insurance Engineer]

1 million square meters = 10,763,910 sq. ft. Oh yea get a fire protection engineer involved for a building this large. You may also want to reach out to the property insurance carrier engineering department for what they want.

 

[Yikes]

You did not describe where the project is located, so we don't know what building or fire code you would reference for design criteria.
