For engineers designing parking garages, two common questions are whether the garage should be open or closed, and what the specific requirements are for each type. In this post, we’ll provide a concise overview of the requirements related to these frequently asked questions. Please refer to the brief attached file for requirements . I hope you find it helpful! #NFPA #Fireprotection #Fireprevention #Firesafety
kinda interesting that open garage does not need sprinkler regardless of size as risk of fire happening does not decrease and the content of combustibles remain the same.
NFPA 88A also defines the open parking
