NOTE: Z values have been derived by adjusting the original values of Amax (peak horizontal
ground acceleration, obtained by site -specific studies to values, which are considered similar to Z).
The adjustments are made as a result of latest UBC zone map, revised in 1994, and the last few
major seismic events in California.
J. Install quick response sprinklers (QRS) in all areas, except where specifically prohibited (e.g.,
high temperature areas as defined in NFPA 13, elevator shafts, or elevator machine rooms).
On retrofit projects, replace existing standard sprinklers with QRS within the smoke
compartments being modified.
