Building construction
Not much context I'm afraid. From a description of services for a construction contract.
"Die betrieblichen Anforderungen werden durch den Nutzer benannt und sind in dieser Baubeschreibung nicht berücksichtigt. ( Sicherheitsanforderungen, besondere Ableitfähigkeiten usw.)"
This is WAY out of my speciality so be prepared for more questions. I only took this job because it's my best client and they insisted I do it.

conductance
The reference to 'Sicherheitsanforderungen' could mean that the Ableitung has something to do with lightning protection. In this case, we're talking about electrical conductance.
