Jes:
You hit a good point.
You are refering to a metal stud wall that is unfinished on 1 side; correct?
We do a lot of commercial work, and have never had this question.
Usually, both sides of the walls are sheetrocked, to meet the building and fire codes.
IMHO, an AHJ "may" interpert 250-104 (c) to include "sheetmetal/metal" studs, and be within the "wording" of the Article. I think I'll pass your question on to Joe Tedesco, if he didn't see it already.
Anyone else have any interpertations???
