NFPA 13 allows the designer to use any applicable design approach when designing a sprinkler system. Control mode density area (CMDA), control mode specific application (CMSA), and early suppression-fast response (ESFR) sprinklers can all be used for the protection of storage. This session will review the advantages of each approach based on the commodity and storage configuration as well as the requirements for the use of each type of sprinkler.
