[RE-wrenches] ESS in attached garage: Heat or smoke detectors

[William Miller]

Friends:



We are installing an off-grid power system in an attached garage with VRLA
batteries (UnigyII).  I need to show compliance with California Residential
Code section R328.7.  That code language is below:



*R328.7 Fire detection.*

Rooms and areas within dwelling units, basements and attached garages in
which ESS are installed shall be protected by smoke alarms in accordance
with Section R314. A heat detector, listed and interconnected to the smoke
alarms, shall be installed in locations within dwelling units and attached
garages where smoke alarms cannot be installed based on their listing.

[SFMJ ESS installed in Group R-3 and townhomes shall comply with the
following:

1. Rooms and areas within dwellings units, sleeping units, basements and
attached garages in which ESS are installed shall be protected by smoke
alarms in accordance with Section R314.

2. A listed heat alarm interconnected to the smoke alarms shall be
installed in locations within dwelling units, sleeping units and attached
garages where smoke alarms cannot be installed based on their listing.



R314 is the language about how where to install interconnected smoke
detectors.



The home is already sheet-rocked and painted.  Does anyone have any idea
how I can comply?



Thanks in advance.
