The design of Node House is to trash the current, wasteful method of conditioning living spaces and create a responsible way of living that ceases to take and starts to give back.  Since less temperature and humidity fluctuation within a space correlates with less energy consumed, the maintenance of these conditions is achieved through natural circulation of air and solar convection.  Energy and potable water supply are joined with this system to achieve maximum efficiency in the processes of rain water and solar collection.  Furthermore, to make the most use of this opportunity, the close proximity of this residence to the Langford architecture complex will be ideal in attracting students to its unique design and encouraging a curiosity that will lead students to inquire about how the building functions as an energy producing home and question the rationale of today’s construction norms.
