Abstract
Stratified ventilation systems use a fundamentally different approach to supply heated or cooled air through a building than the 'fully mixed and dilution' ventilation systems found in the majority of non-residential buildings. Stratified air distribution creates a non-uniform environment in terms of temperature and pollutant distribution, and acceptable conditions in the occupied zone. Previous research has shown that this type of system works well for regions where buildings require year-round cooling. However there are a growing number of buildings using this approach in Canada, where buildings require heating during winter months. This paper presents results from a field study conducted in a school equipped with a displacement ventilation system. The results show that the measured contaminant removal efficiency (based on CO 2 measurements) resulting from displacement ventilation in this case is better than that was predicted in previous studies for displacement ventilation under heating operation. In addition, key predictors of thermal comfort (the measured vertical air temperature difference and draft rating at ankle and head height) are also generally within the limits set by applicable ASHRAE standards.

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
