Abstract
Abstract Global energy consumption has significantly increased as a result of the rise in appliance and equipment usage, which has been driven by technological improvements and economic expansion, particularly noticeable in the infrastructure and building industries. Among these, residential construction emerges as a prominent energy consumer in infrastructure development. Therefore, architects and engineers must prioritize the adoption of energy-efficient strategies in both planning and execution to create buildings that achieve net-zero or nearly-zero energy consumption levels. This study focuses on unconditioned residential building located in a warm–humid Indian climate. Energy consumption is minimized through a metamodel based genetic algorithm optimization framework that fine-tunes envelope parameters like orientation, window-to-wall ratio (WWR), shading depth, and shading angle to enhance daylight penetration, reduce artificial lighting requirements, and mitigate internal and solar heat gains. Here, a parametric model is created utilizing four architectural design variables: orientation, WWR, shading depth, and shading angle that generates a large number of options for the analysis of the building’s energy consumption. The outcomes of the case study demonstrate a significant decrease of 34.63% in energy consumption compared to the reference design, achieved through the optimal selection of design variables.

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
