Lightning protection systems protect a building from structural damage, physical harm of individuals inside, and destruction of the electrical and electronic infrastructure. We will discuss the basics of lightning protection systems and its components—as well as the considerations for specifications, installations and inspections. This foundational information will enable you to start or join the conversation on lightning protection systems.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify key factors that determine the "need" for a lightning protection system on a new or existing building/risk assessment.
- Outline the lightning protection system’s installation process from start to finish on new roofs or re-roofs to collaborate with building enclosures team members: roofing consultants, engineers and architects.
- Gain a clear understanding of a lightning protection system’s main components, installation process by certified lightning protection professionals, and the importance of inspection by a third party to ensure proper operation of the system for their building owner.
- Apply new knowledge of lightning protection systems to initiate a discussion with the building owner and/or their building enclosure team about the need for a lightning protection system.
