Exact Action Values Are Not Enough: Rollout-Verified Reinforcement Fine-Tuning of a Reasoning Model for Multi-Zone VAV Control
This work first test whether a frontier reasoning model (an LLM trained to use additional inference-time computation) can achieve competitive VAV control from text without building-specific training, and whether TD3-guided reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) can transfer control knowledge into a locally deployable open-weight model.
