The invention relates to a system () for conducting lightning currents and/or fault currents away from a roof area () and/or fa&#xe7;ade area of a building () to the ground (). According to the invention, the system is equipped with at least one strip (), which is laid in the roof area () and/or fa&#xe7;ade area of the building () and at least one potential compensation system for the building (). The strip () comprises at least one electrically conductive layer for shielding electromagnetic radiation and the strip () is connected to the potential compensation system in such a way that lightning currents and/or fault currents can be conducted away via the strip () and the building potential to the ground (). By linking the strip () to the potential compensation system of the building (), lightning currents and/or fault currents, which occur for example when an electric installation malfunctions, can be conducted away in a targeted manner, thus eliminating any risk to persons in the roof area () and/or fa&#xe7;ade area of the building ().
