Building Lighting Protection Calculation (1.1.19)

This document contains calculations to determine if lightning protection is required for a building and how many down conductors would be needed. It provides details on the building dimensions and factors like flash density and risk. The results show the calculated overall risk factor is higher than the maximum acceptable level, so lightning protection is required. Based on the base area and perimeter of the structure, 9 down conductors would be needed.
