Fills albedo. The record declares target land_cover.bldgs, name 'CBD roofs', place shanghai, representativeness site, urban_setting central_business_district and source ao2016.
Fills emissivity. The record declares target land_cover.bldgs, name 'Building', place generic, representativeness generic, applicable_scale land_cover, source jarvi2011 and method literature.
Fills water_storage. The stable Helsinki-path record declares target land_cover.bldgs, name Building, place generic, representativeness generic, applicable_scale land_cover, source jarvi2011 and method literature. Its Helsinki origin preserves migration/application lineage; the value is published as a generic Building parameter.
Fills drainage. The record declares target land_cover.bldgs, name 'Building', place generic, representativeness generic and applicable_scale land_cover.
Fills construction. The record declares target construction, name 'Central London [sample run]', place london, representativeness city, source unreferenced and method assumed. Its three roof and three wall thicknesses follow historical code 801; the sample-run marker identifies an explicit retained configuration, while roof layer three has no proven material record.
Fills snow_lim_patch. The stable path and origin retain Helsinki migration lineage, while the record declares target land_cover.bldgs, name 'Buildings', place generic, representativeness generic, applicable_scale land_cover, source jarvi2014 and method literature, and carries snowpack_limit. It is the only buildings snowpack_limit record in the database.
Fills the summer_wet, summer_dry, winter_wet and winter_dry ohm slots. The record declares target ohm_coefficients, name 'Original roof average ', place beijing, representativeness city, source unreferenced and method assumed, and carries no season_label.
| Composite identity | supported The name field of the composite reads 'City centre ', with a trailing space, its place field reads beijing and its origin field Beijing, so together with the entry path archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/beijing--city-centre the label identifies a Beijing city-centre building typology. The trailing space is cosmetic and does not impair identification; it is shared with archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/helsinki--city-centre and with no other buildings archetype. |
|---|---|
| Composite target | supported The composite declares target land_cover.bldgs, which agrees with its position under archetypes/surfaces/bldgs. The albedo, emissivity, water_storage, drainage and snow_lim_patch slots each take a record declaring target land_cover.bldgs; the construction slot takes a record declaring target construction; and the four ohm slots take a record declaring target ohm_coefficients. records/ohm/beijing--zheng-y2023--buildings declares no season_label and no wet or dry distinction, so filling summer_wet, summer_dry, winter_wet and winter_dry with the one record is the only mapping its content supports. None of these records declares attaches_to, which in this database appears only on the profile and snow-profile records, so the SUEWS field each slot writes is fixed by the slot name alone and cannot be cross-checked against the component. |
| Own parameter values | not applicable The composite declares no parameters block, so it overrides no component value. |
| Composition rationale | not applicable The composite claims no composition source, and the repository records no published rationale for assembling these particular records into a Beijing city centre. The sources of the components belong to their own evidence assessments, not to this review. |
| Place applicability | curation required The composite claims place beijing. Two components are Chinese, the Shanghai albedo and Beijing OHM record. Emissivity, water storage, drainage and snow_lim_patch declare place generic; and construction declares place london. The unused Shanghai emissivity companion and the London sample-run construction remain the place and selection questions requiring curation. |
| Representativeness | curation required The composite is classed city. Two components declare city; emissivity, water storage, drainage and snow_lim_patch declare generic; and the Shanghai CBD albedo declares site. Extending that site value to a Beijing city composite remains an unsupported extrapolation requiring curation. |
| Slot and season mapping | supported An assembly of existing records into slots; the composite produces no value of its own. |
| Completeness and uniqueness | supported Every slot a buildings archetype carries in this database is filled: albedo, emissivity, water_storage, drainage, construction, snow_lim_patch and the four ohm season and wetness slots, which take one record apiece because records/ohm/beijing--zheng-y2023--buildings makes no season, wet or dry distinction. No other archetype in the repository carries an identical uses block. The nearest is archetypes/surfaces/bldgs/zurich--city-centre, which shares six of the seven components, including the Beijing OHM row, and differs only in taking records/surfaces/bldgs/london--ward2016--albedo in place of the Shanghai row. |
The assembly is structurally complete and every slot takes a record declared for it, so in form the composition is sound. Its weakness is the provenance of place. The composite claims a Beijing city centre, yet only the albedo, from a site in a Shanghai central business district, and the OHM coefficients, from Beijing, are Chinese. No composition source supports transferring the site-scale Shanghai albedo to city-scale Beijing. Emissivity, snowpack_limit, water storage and drainage are generic building-class or default rows; and the construction is records/constructions/uk--lindberg-f2020--central-london-sample-run, a London record named 'Central London [sample run]' whose mapped layers use sample-run materials; roof layer three has no proven material record. Part of that is forced: records/surfaces/bldgs/helsinki--jarvi2014--snow-lim is the only buildings snowpack_limit record in the database, and no Chinese water storage or drainage row exists to choose instead. One part is not forced. records/surfaces/bldgs/shanghai--ao2016--emissivity sits unused in the database, from the same study, site scale and Shanghai CBD setting as the albedo row this composite already takes, while the emissivity slot reaches to Helsinki. The stakes run wider than one archetype, because six region archetypes take this city-scale composite as their buildings default, so a London sample-run construction, one generic Järvi emissivity row, one generic Järvi snowpack default and generic water-storage and drainage rows are inherited across much of Asia, the Caribbean and Oceania. A maintainer should settle the emissivity selection and the standing of the sample-run construction once, for the family, rather than archetype by archetype. This review does not revisit any component value.
