Abstract
Calculation of required fire flows and volume for the model building codes for sprinklered and unsprinklered buildings is derived from IFC, Appendix B and NFPA 1, Sect. 18.4. Calculated fire flows for unsprinklered and sprinklered buildings are also derived from NFF through ISO and design densities or minimum sprinkler flows and volume required for sprinkler systems designed per NFPA 13, NFPA 13R and NFPA 13D. The volume of fire protection water is provided through a series of calculated flows (gpm) for a minimum duration (min) with detail shown in Appendix B.
