Abstract
A library of frit material definitions is curated in the Radiance material format for annual climate-based daylight simulations and rendered visual comfort calculations. Radiance ‘cal’ and ‘rad’ material files for various common patterns, coverage ratios, and irregular gradients are developed and shared via an open source library. Photometric properties for typical architectural frits are created based on measured data, and scattering effects are evaluated using a combination of low-resolution angular transmission measurements and high dynamic range (HDR) luminance photography. Best-practice methods are discussed for the application of frits in lighting simulation relative to typical direct sun daylight metrics such as annual sunlight exposure (ASE) and lighting sufficiency metrics. Finally, the impact of frits on glare and daylight metrics are benchmarked compared to other alternatives such as reducing the relative size of glazing in a variety of Canadian climates.

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
