    Default Sprinklers against interior windows? Why?

    Someone who knows more about commercial construction can probably answer this easily. But what's the point of sprinklers right up against the glass on interior widows?

    This pic was taken in bankers Hall, but I've seen this many places.

    Meeting code requirements on fire-rated demising walls, often in place of using fire-rated glass.

    What's demising mean?

    So it's to stop the windows breaking under heat stress and create a fire barrier in that wall? I assume the rest of the wall is designed to be a fire barrier too?

    My guess would be they are there to prevent the windows from popping out and causing a huge back draft

    I think that particular location is due to Q9 being there.

    So it isn't just an automatic window washing system?

    Man. When the fuck is the future going to get here already?

    Quite sure its simply firecode for demising walls...due to the fire rating of glass walls vs drywall etc.
