\n Education Buildings
\nLightning protection, earthing and equipotential bonding for university, college and dormitory buildings.
\nThe protection need
\nA campus is not a single roof. Classrooms, laboratories, dormitories and congress buildings stand side by side on the same grounds, and the power and IT lines run between them. In crowded classrooms and dormitories, the touchable metal parts have to be at the same potential. Laboratories and server rooms are more exposed to surge voltage. We therefore treat air termination, earthing and equipotential bonding for the campus as a whole, not building by building.
Principal risks and design criteria
- 01
A campus in parts
When separate buildings are not tied into a common earthing arrangement, a potential difference appears between them.
- 02
Laboratories and IT
Sensitive equipment and data lines are protected separately from a surge arriving on the power installation.
- 03
Classrooms and dormitories
In crowded spaces, a touch voltage appears if the steelwork, the services and the earthing are not at the same potential.
- 04
Tall and wide roofs
Roof geometry and rooftop equipment require the air-termination layout to follow the building mass.
