Assessment findings

Namesupported
The immutable legacy Spartacus Material row 36248155 names this configuration material Air.
Targetsupported
The legacy row stores thermal conductivity, specific heat and density as material properties, matching the material target.
Valuessupported
The workbook-derived legacy row 36248155 stores thermal conductivity 0.025, specific heat 1005 and density 1.225 exactly; the values are preserved unchanged.
Sourcenot applicable
Bellucco et al. publish no air-material properties. No parameter publication was found, so source unreferenced honestly preserves the legacy configuration without manufacturing a citation.
issue #408
Placenot applicable
The legacy material row declares no place.
Representativenessnot applicable
The legacy material row declares no evidence-reach claim.
Methodsupported
Assumed is appropriate for a model material default preserved from an exact legacy row when no publication states or derives the complete parameter tuple.
Identitysupported
Legacy row 36248155 uniquely identifies the unchanged Air tuple. The stable record path retains its historical citation slug even though that attribution is removed.

Scientific note

This is a legacy configuration default, not a Bellucco et al. literature parameter. The immutable workbook-derived row at https://github.com/UMEP-dev/SUEWS-database/blob/053c004ef46c14194fdc39bbb8932908db294abd/db/spartacus_material.yml#L229-L238 records the exact complete tuple. Independently, the STEBBS implementation at https://github.com/UMEP-dev/SUEWS/blob/ad1b4929afb321dcc531f95d88bfe6ceb24a0c7c/src/suews/src/suews_phys_stebbs.f95#L2528-L2533 hard-codes 1.225 and 1005 as indoor-air defaults, without citing Bellucco; no implementation lineage for 0.025 was located. The values remain unchanged as an explicit assumption while the false publication attribution is removed.
