Abstract
The paper explores the performance of a sub-slab ground heat exchanger, coupled to a heat pump, and the ability of the system to provide space conditioning and domestic hot water (DHW) for a multi-unit residential building (MURB) located in Ottawa, Ontario. The parametric analysis conducted to optimize the design of the building, as well as the sensitivity analysis performed to optimize the configuration of the sub-slab ground heat exchanger is also presented. According to the simulated results, the ground layer can store some of the rejected energy over medium term, without reducing the long-term performance of the heat pump. The annual energy consumption per dwelling unit (including heat pump, all auxiliary equipment, appliances, and lights) was estimated to be 28.4 GJ, significantly lower than the average annual energy consumption for a low-rise apartment in Canada (46.7 GJ per apartment). To assess the sensitivity of the system to environmental conditions, the simulation was conducted using the weather files for other five locations in Canada.

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
