On August 6, a webinar on "Lightning Protection of Ordinary-Height Structures with Continuous Curtain Wall Glazing" took place, presented by Professor E. M. Bazelyan. The webinar covered the features of lightning protection for buildings up to 150 m high with continuous curtain wall glazing.
Issues addressed during the webinar included:
- The impact of downward lightning flashes on side walls and window openings.
- The limited effectiveness of overhead ground wire for protecting the upper parts of walls.
- The role of an insulating glass unit (IGU) with grounded reinforcement as a barrier in the path of a lightning channel.
- Requirements for the geometry of insulating glass units to prevent sparkover.
- Organization of laboratory testing of insulating glass units.
Speaker: E. M. Bazelyan, Dr. Sc. (Eng.), professor; Krzhizhanovsky Energy Institute, Moscow.
