Types of Automatic Fire‐Extinguishing Systems and Standpipes
In the International Building Code (IBC), there are two ways that fire sprinklers may be required in a building: through either a direct requirement or an indirect requirement. There are three types of sprinkler systems identified in the IBC and they are based on the standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) which includes NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems; NFPA 13R, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in Residential Occupancies Upto and Including Four Stories in Height; and NFPA 13D, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One‐ and Two‐Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes. A sprinkler system installed per the NFPA 13 standard is considered a full commercial system. Of the three sprinkler systems used by the IBC, the NFPA 13 system is considered the most expensive type of system and the NFPA 13D system is considered the least expensive type of system.
