3.2.2.16 Heavy Timber Roof Permitted

1) Unless other wise permitted by Articles 3.2.2.20. to 3.2.2.90., a roof assembly in a building up to 2 storeys in building height is permitted to be heavy timber construction regardless of building area or type of construction required, provided the building is sprinklered throughout.

2) If Sentence (1) permits a roof assembly to be of heavy timber construction, structural members in the storey immediately below the roof assembly are permitted to be of heavy timber construction.

This Article allows one or two storeys sprinklered building to have heavy timber roof. The structure members immediately  below the roof assembly can be heavy timber construction. Please be careful for that it doesn't say  the floor below the roof can be heavy timber construction and it doesn't say non-structure members can be combustible.
