Grid-search DSM
Use this before RL for a daily planning study or whenever an auditable comparator is needed.
- Freeze model, weather, initial-state/lookback, occupancy, baseline, action lattice, comfort/readiness gate, demand window, and tariff contract.
- Run a smoke/micro gate, then pilot timing/determinism checks before exhaustive search. If exhaustive evaluation exceeds the preregistered time budget, use a declared bounded subset; do not call it exhaustive.
- For adaptive daily selection, compare candidates from the same midnight state and use only information available then. Keep this distinct from a fixed-policy multi-day replay.
- Select the lowest-cost fully-ready candidate; record kWh, peak kW/time, comfort, compute resources, trajectory/model hashes, and candidate coverage.
- Keep rankings separate across tariff contracts. Grid search selects explicit cost subject to gates; it is not an RL reward result.
No BACnet command authority follows from a simulation screen.
