I'm getting from a sprinkler designer that section 8.15.1.2.2 in NFPA 13 that states that "Concealed spaces of noncombustible and limited-combustible construction with limited access and not permitting occupancy or storage of combustibles shall not require sprinkler protection. The space shall be considered a concealed space even with small openings such as those used as return air for a plenum" is referring to the spaces above the ceiling grid where there is 6 to 10 ft above the grid to the ceiling.
I take those spaces to be small areas that are cut off by walls, etc. In this case, the rooms are being divided horizontally by the drop in ceiling.
Am I looking at this correctly? Thanks all in advance.
