DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nTodd D. Vought is an LPI. Certified Master
  Designer / Installer of Lightning Protection Systems with LYNCOLE VFC. Mr
 . Vought has been certified since 1984. VFC has been protecting North Amer
 ican facilities and infrastructure since 1989. Since then\, it has grown i
 nto the nation's largest Lightning Protection Company. Our Lightning Prote
 ction and Specialty Grounding Systems are deployed throughout the United S
 tates and internationally. LYNCOLE is a division of VFC\, The inventors of
  the XIT Electrolytic Grounding System\, provides Advanced Grounding Solut
 ions and Engineering Services.\n\nTOPIC\n\nThe risk of lightning strikes o
 n people\, structures\, and businesses is increasing. Two major factors ar
 e driving this trend: bigger cities and global climate change. In the US a
 lone\, total lightning-related damage and disruption currently cost $8 to 
 $10 billion annually\, rising at nearly 20% per year. Yet for risk mitigat
 ion and damage avoidance\, cost-effective lightning protection systems are
  readily available. Truly lightning resilient facilities can protect peopl
 e and save industry and the public sector billions of dollars each year. I
 n this presentation\, Mr. Vought reviews effective design and implementati
 on principles of lightning resilient buildings\, including:\n\n- Need for 
 Lightning Resilience\n- Risk Assessment •NFPA Annex L\n- Lightning Pheno
 menon Basics\n- Facility Lightning Protection\n- Grounding\n- Bonding – 
 Potential Equalization • NEC Bonding\n- Surge Suppression – SPD's\n- S
 tructural Lightning Protection Basics • Conventional Systems\n- Structur
