In sprinkler design, the "remote area" refers to the section of a building that is most challenging to protect with sprinklers due to its location and characteristics. The design criteria usually specify the minimum density of water (gallons per minute per square foot or liters per minute per square meter) over a specified area that the system must deliver. Based on the standard requirements for typical commercial occupancies, a delivery rate of15 gpm (57 L/min) over 1,500 ft² (139 m²)is common for light to ordinary hazard classifications.
