Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the Thermal Insulation Performance of the PCM Cool Roof System, which is being developed for mitigating the Urban Heat Island Effect. We compared the performance of general insulation material versus that of PCM, both applied on a standard roof model. General insulation material contained 50mm Expanded Poly Styrene, 135mm Expanded Poly Styrene, and 135mm cellulose. We found that PCM had less cooling energy consumption compared to general insulation, whereas general insulation had less heating energy consumption. The annual total energy consumption was found to be lower when using PCM. Therefore, we conclude that the PCM Cool Roof System has insulating capacity comparable to that of general insulation. And its thermal insulation performance is similar or better compared with general insulation, although thermal conductivity of PCM in solid status is generally 0.24 W/mK which almost eight times higher than general insulation.

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
