Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study evaluates the economic feasibility as well as the effect of window modifications on the heating and cooling energy requirement of the Canadian housing stock based on detailed energy simulations conducted using the Canadian hybrid residential end-use energy model (CHREM) and green house gas emissions model (GEM). It is found that thermally improved windows can substantially reduce the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from the Canadian residential sector. The magnitude of energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions depend largely on the size of the housing stock, existing window type characteristics, climate, and fuel mix used. Thus, there are variations from province to province. Similarly, economic feasibility depends on the magnitude of savings available as well as the price of energy in each province.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
