Abstract
While some building energy simulation tools include dedicated models to represent thermally massive embedded-tubes radiant floor systems, there are no models available for lightweight above-floor tube-and-plate (AFTP) systems. AFTP systems consist of a grooved wooden subfloor (or high density insulation layer), and conductive fin. This paper discusses the development of a transient AFTP radiant floor model and its implementation into ESP-r. This AFTP radiant floor model uses the general approach of the existing embedded-tube model in ESP-r and combines an analytical model of the tube with a two-dimensional finite difference model of the top layers of the floor construction. The new AFTP radiant floor model was found to compare closely with a transient two-dimensional finite element analysis model. Additionally, a full-scale transient experiment was conducted to empirically validate the model. The new model's predictions were found to be in close agreement with the measurements from this experiment.

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
