Abstract
In a cold climate such as of Montreal, the air infiltration through the exterior envelope of a house has a significant impact on the heating energy consumption and cost. The renovation of existing houses for increasing the airtightness up to the level of new, well-built houses can lead to the reduction of heating energy cost. This paper estimates the cost-effectiveness of this type of renovation by considering (1) the life-cycle energy consumption; (2) the initial cost of renovation; and (3) the CO 2 tax credits, which take into account the environmental impact of increasing the airtightness of existing houses. The results show that the increase of airtightness of existing houses is not always cost-effective in the Montreal area.

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
