Question

Is it the intent of R-4 to allow use of the
Florida Building Code, Residential and therefore
not require this type of facility to be
sprinkled ?

Answer Published 09/01/2010 at 6:49 PM

Buildng Volume Section 310.1 allows R-4 construction in
conformance with the Florida Buildng Code, Residential.
That said, depending on the actual R-4 use, the Building
Code or Florida Fire Prevention Code (FFPC) may require
fire sprinklers.
