Abstract
So often standards and norms do not spell out exactly what it recommends, leaving the reader unsure about where to start, what the next steps are in order to design and install a lightning protection system. The spirit of this chapter is one of cookbooks, containing cost-effective recipes together with clear step-by-step guides to practically cook up a lightning protection system for a building and or structure, which is both safe and effective.
