Abstract
ABSTRACT Nova Scotia Power (NS Power) offers an incentive to the owners of electrically heated houses in Nova Scotia to switch from conventional electric baseboard heaters to electric thermal storage (ETS) systems and enjoy the rebated time-of-day (TOD) electricity rates. For this study, a statistically representative, electrically heated, existing Nova Scotia house was modeled in the building energy simulation software ESP-r to estimate its peak heating load and hourly heating energy consumption for an entire year. Based on the ESP-r simulation results, the ETS system was sized for the house, and the energy cost saving realized with this system was estimated. It was found that, compared to conventional electric baseboard heating system, the ETS heating system can save 41–48% in the heating cost on an annual basis, yielding a simple-payback (SPB) period for this retrofit of less than eight years.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
