Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract To what extent can the urgency of climate change and an evolving concept of agency (at the individual and social levels of building users) create a new context for rethinking the notion of comfort? A new, emerging notion of comfort is explored that embraces engagement with new conditions, new experiences, and new types of interactions between inhabitants and building systems and unfamiliar technologies. The emphasis is on communication and dialogue as two dynamic and adaptive processes necessary to achieve optimal building performance while valuing and responding to inhabitant knowledge and agency, and enhancing indoor environmental quality from the standpoint of the inhabitants. A primary conclusion is that the goal of shifting into a lower carbon society has created a new context for comfort, from its conventional emphasis as automated, uniform and predictable, to a broader notion that takes into consideration dynamic, integrated, and participatory aspects. The key dimensions of this emergent broader view of comfort are examined and the relationships between them revealed. Dans quelle mesure l'urgence du changement climatique et un concept évolutif d'agence (au niveau individuel et social des utilisateurs de bâtiments) créent-t-ils un nouveau contexte où revoir la notion de confort? L'auteur explore une nouvelle notion de confort qui englobe l'engagement avec de nouvelles conditions, de nouvelles expériences et de nouveaux types d'interactions entre les habitants, les systèmes de construction et des technologies nouvelles. L'accent est mis sur la communication et le dialogue comme étant deux processus dynamiques et adaptatifs nécessaire pour obtenir des performances de construction optimales tout en donnant sa valeur et en répondant à la connaissance des habitants et à l'agence et en améliorant la qualité de l'environnement intérieur du point de vue des habitants. Selon une conclusion majeure, l'objectif visé qui est de passer à une société émettant moins de carbone a donné naissance à un nouveau contexte de confort, en passant de l'accent classique sur l'automatisation, l'uniformité et la prévisibilité à une notion plus large qui prend en considération des aspects dynamiques, intégrés et participatifs. L'auteur analyse les dimensions principales de cette idée émergente et élargie de confort ainsi que les relations entre elles.

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.
