This research proposes a study about a lightning protection system - LPS applied to popular buildings in the city of Manaus-AM, considering its importance for the protection of the whole structure, as well as the people who circulate in it. Atmospheric discharge is a force of nature, so it is almost impossible to stop this process from occurring or flowing with you. However, measures can be taken to avoid damage to the population, such as risk of death to living beings, as well as problems with electronic equipment and compromise of the building structure, with the adoption of lightning protection system in the most efficient way. . In addition, an atmospheric discharge, when it hits a structure, can cause internal systems to fail, considering that each structure is subject to damage determined by certain factors, such as: type of construction, function of the structure, power lines and metal pipes, among others. . The region and its intrinsic characteristics should also be considered as an indicator of climate change, indicating an increase in the region's occurrence.
