Abstract
The thermal performance of structural insulated panels (SIP) and connections, developed and used to build 142 homes in Nunavut, Canada, was studied by subjecting the panels to steady-state cold climate conditions in a laboratory test setup. Testing was carried out using an inverted test hut, in which the panels were installed such that the interior of the hut was cooled down to outdoor conditions, and the ambient lab conditions served as the indoor climate. This inverted setup provides an alternative to using a large-scale environmental chamber when this is not available. Results showed the methodology used in this test is adequate to characterize the thermal performance at both the center of the panel and the connections. In carrying out steady-state thermal simulations on both the panel and connection cross sections using both one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) programs, it was found that while the 1D simulation could adequately predict the performance at the center of the panel, a 2D simulation was required to predict the performance at the connections. The SIPs themselves were found to provide good thermal performance.

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
