Abstract
• Integrates crop-level energy balance into EnergyPlus using its Python API. • Solves the crop-level energy balance using fixed-point iteration algorithm. • Estimates the hygrothermal loads of controlled environment agriculture spaces. • Validates the model against literature data, demonstrating improved applicability. This paper presents an approach for integrating crop modelling into building performance simulation (BPS) of controlled environment agriculture (CEA) spaces. A comprehensive review of recent literature on CEA energy modelling using building performance simulation (BPS) software highlighted the need for such integrated capabilities. Leveraging EnergyPlus and the Python application programming interface (API), the proposed approach estimates the hygrothermal (sensible and latent) loads within CEA spaces by applying a fixed-point iteration root-finding algorithm based on the crop-level energy balance. The implementation was verified using data from the literature, enhancing the applicability of BPS tools for simulating the unique environmental conditions of CEA spaces.

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
