Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Green roof infrastructure has become a multi-million dollar industry in Germany and is gaining popularity in other European countries as well. Green roof infrastructure is more than just soil and plants on a roof, but consists of specialized membranes and drainage barriers to support the growing of vegetation on top of buildings. The benefits of this technology were researched and presented in the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation Report Greenbacks from Green Roofs (Peck at el., 1999). Many of the advantages of these technologies, such as the reduction of stormwater runoff, the reduction of cooling loads and the reduction of the urban heat island suggested that this technology could play a role in helping Canadian cities adapt to climate change. The goal of this research was to assess these benefits in a Canadian context.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
