Commercial building lightning protection
Keep the lights on with DEHN
From contemporary workstations and smart buildings to office complexes and modern work environments, commercial buildings rely heavily on interconnected technology.
While much of this important electrical equipment works behind the scenes to keep buildings functioning as they should, the impact of damage to one of these systems or components due to transient voltage is felt building-wide. From lightning strikes to overvoltage, this sensitive technology is vulnerable if not properly protected, threatening the safety and success of the building itself, but also the people inside.
For more than 100 years, DEHN has provided proactive protection for all kinds of commercial building applications. As an international electrical engineering firm, we have the expertise to help you take control of the future and function of your building’s operation.

The dark reality of transient voltage threats to commercial buildings
Managing a commercial building isn’t an easy task. You have to balance the wants and needs of commercial business tenants with the abilities and needs of the building and ensure it all stays up and running efficiently.
A bulk of your building’s success hinges on the performance of sensitive electrical components. Power outages, building automation system issues, and other electrical issues stemming from transient surges can quickly bring the work processes of your tenants grinding to a halt. Power quality disruptions can also affect the safety of people inside your commercial building when damage occurs to lightning systems, electric elevator equipment, and fire suppression systems.
The results of internal or external transient voltage events can range from expensive repair costs and lost productivity to a decrease in tenant retention or building standards compliance.
This is especially true for modern commercial buildings in which the technical building equipment is highly interconnected and interdependent. The risk of significant damage from a lightning strike or internal surge is raised as an electrical malfunction in one individual component could render multiple systems inoperable.
Ensure disruption-free operation within your commercial work environment with comprehensive transient voltage protection from DEHN. With a holistic approach to preserving your building’s power quality, we can implement lightning and surge protection, grounding systems, as well as earth-termination, air-termination, and equipotential bonding systems.
Combining diverse types of protective solutions can help maintain the comfort of those in your building while securing production processes and keeping work environments running smoothly. As buildings become more “smart” and reliant on advanced electrical systems, minimizing the risk of fire, outages, equipment damage, and overall power quality disruption is increasingly important.

Is lightning protection required? The short answer is no, but as climate change intensifies the amount and severity of extreme weather events and modern commercial building environments become increasingly dependent on networked electrical technology, consistent power quality shifts to an electrifying topic of conversation among industry experts.
Yet, according to the Lightning Protection Institute, only 6% of companies in the U.S. have implemented proper lightning protection equipment.
You’re already a leader in your commercial building sector. Don’t compromise your position – prevent unnecessary risks and operational downtime with an efficient transient voltage protection concept, including a lightning protection system such as strike termination devices, from DEHN.
