Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The purpose of this study is to capitalize on an opportunity to become more sustainable. The points in question are: How much energy savings can be achieved through conscious consumption alone? What changes are people willing to make at their own discretion? Are there any correlations between certain demographics and energy use? Experimental results from 10 households showed that the minimum savings achieved over one month are equal to a potential annual savings of 250,000 GJ of natural gas, 43 million kWh of electricity, and 5 million m3 of water across Calgary. Water-related changes were the most commonly applied by participants. Successful households had more members, more kids, slightly higher education levels, more awareness in reality, and less awareness by perception compared to their less successful peers and the applicable statistics. Overall, energy-saving tips were deemed an effective mechanism by which to notably reduce energy consumption in an urban setting.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
