    This document provides a simplified lightning risk report for an unnamed project according to NFPA 780 (2014) standards. It includes calculations of the annual threat of occurrence and tolerable lightning frequency, finding the threat to be less than the tolerance and thus making a lightning protection system optional for the site. Project details are given such as the collection area, lightning ground flash density, surrounding structure types, and more. The report concludes by stating all calculations were performed according to NFPA 780 (2014).

    Calculation Metrics

    Total Collection Area (Ae) Roof Material Type (C2b)


    1994 sq ft Metal (0)

    Lightning Ground Flash Density (Ng) Structure Contents (C3)


    0 Flashes / sq km / yr Low value and noncombustible (0.5)

    Surroundings (C1) Structure Occupancy (C4)


    Structures/trees of greater height within Unoccupied (0.5)
    collection area (0.25)
    Lightning Consequence (C5)
    Structure Material Type (C2a) Continuity of facility services not
    Metal (0) required, no environmental impact (1)

    Calculations used

    Annual Threat of Occurence (Nd) Tolerable Lightning Frequency (Nc)

    Nd = 0
    Nc = 0.012

    If Nd is less than or equal to Nc: A lightning protection system can be optional

    If Nd is greater than Nc: It is recommended that a lightning protection system be installed

    All calculations are performed in accordance with NFPA 780 [2014].
