Learn to identify what the building depends on from outside and what happens when power, water, wastewater, heating, cooling, or access is interrupted.
Let the Building Help First
Understand why insulation, air sealing, orientation, and lower loads can reduce dependence before backup equipment is considered.
Ask What Still Works
Learn to ask four important questions: What can the building still do? For whom? For how long? And under what conditions?
About Stick Twenty-Eight — The Refuge
A building should contribute to protecting the people inside even when normal outside services are interrupted. Stick Twenty-Eight introduces The Refuge — asking what the building can still do when normal conditions or services are interrupted. It is not about guaranteeing safety forever or preparing for every possible disaster. You’ll learn to identify important dependencies, consider what occupants actually need, and understand why reducing loads and improving the building itself can provide more options and time when outside services are unavailable. The goal is to understand those dependencies before an interruption happens — because the day the power goes out is not the day to discover what the building needs power for.
