Abstract
In this review, we assessed the validity of two commonly used thermal comfort models. The first, Fanger's Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) Model, combines four physical variables (air temperature, air velocity, mean radiant temperature, and relative humidity), and two personal variables (clothing insulation and activity level) into an index that can be used to predict the average thermal sensation of a large group of people. The second, Fanger's Draught Model, predicts the percentage of occupants dissatisfied with local draught, from three physical variables (air temperature, mean air velocity, and turbulence intensity). Our review indicated that the PMV model is not always a good predictor of actual thermal sensation, particularly in field study settings. Discrepancies between actual and predicted thermal sensations reflect, in part, the difficulties inherent in obtaining accurate measures of clothing insulation and activity level. In most practical settings, poor estimations of these two variables are likely to reduce the accuracy of PMV predictions. Our review also suggested that the bias in PMV predictions varies by context. The model was a better predictor in air-conditioned buildings than naturally ventilated ones, in part because of the influence of outdoor temperature, and opportunities for adaptation.

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
