Ventilation for Partial Walls

[mh1]

Hello, thanks in advance for feedback: I have a 10k sf currently empty space proposed to fill with about 30 M occupancy rooms defined by partial walls that stop 18 inches (or more) below sprinkler deflectors. My question here is only about airflow. Current two RTUs feed the space with short distribution trunks. What considerations, if any, are there about air feed ducts or returns from the space? Since the tops of all walls are open, is there no consideration? Or does each space need air supply and/or return?

Welcome

So 30 individual stalls?? Like a flea market, craft sales or similar???

not into a/c

Sounds like a wide open grocery store, that heats and cools the entire space.

If individual stalls may run into people cold or hot natured, that will complain.

I highly suggest before building walls , hire a fire sprinkler company to look at your layout.

Sometimes even more than 18 inches is not enough

Give it a few days for great replies

I'd at least put supplies in every stall. The return air will probably circulate above the walls OK.
