Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This commentary scrutinizes Building Research & Information's 2008 special issue titled ‘Comfort in a Lower Carbon Society’ from three vantage points. The first compares the special issue with another published on the same topic in 1982 in an attempt to see what differences a quarter of a century have brought to comfort-related research. The second seeks to identify what has been gained and lost as comfort research has moved away from the reductionist and positivistic certainties of 26 years ago towards the much more highly nuanced, historical, and social constructivist position reported in the 2008 special issue. And the third asks what would need to be done next to enable the more recent, adaptive, approach to modifying indoor climate to out-compete the engineering paradigm that has become so embedded and ingrained in professional practice over the past century. The commentary concludes with the challenge that unless this new, adaptive approach can rapidly become codified and enshrined in professional codes and standards – perhaps even in (inter)national regulations, it will not even be able to begin to operate as one of the building-related bulwarks against climate change. Ce commentaire analyse sous trois angles différents le numéro spécial de Building Research & Information 2008 consacré au confort dans une société sobre en carbone. L'auteur commence par comparer ce numéro spécial à un autre numéro publié sur le même sujet en 1982 afin de voir comment ont évolué en un quart de siècle les recherches liées au confort. Il s'efforce ensuite d'identifier ce qui a été acquis et perdu alors que les recherches sur le confort sont passées des certitudes réductionnistes et positivistes d'il y a 26 ans à une position constructiviste beaucoup plus nuancée, historique, sociale telle qu'elle apparaît dans ce numéro spécial de 2008. Enfin, il pose la question sur ce qui devrait être fait maintenant pour valider l'approche adaptative plus récente qui vise à modifier le climat intérieur pour aller au-delà du paradigme technique qui s'est si profondément ancré dans les pratiques professionnelles au cours du siècle dernier. L'auteur conclut que les bâtiments ne pourront même pas servir de rempart contre le changement climatique à moins que cette nouvelle approche adaptative puisse être rapidement codifiée et consacrée dans des codes et des normes professionnelles, voire dans des réglementations internationales.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
