COURSE INTRODUCTION & OUTLINE:

Lightning strikes the U.S. 25 million times a year on average, causing an estimated $1.5 billion per year in structural damages in the United States alone. This does not include the substantial costs associated with loss of business, downtime and liability.
A Lighting protection system on a building increases protection from physical damage and reduces the possibility of fire. Many insurers now require the installation of lighting protection systems for commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, historic landmarks and public venues.
