Biothermal Microconditioning System (BTMS): A Canonical Terminology Framework

This paper declares the Biothermal Microconditioning System (BTMS) — a technology platform integrating biological thermal actors with mechanical HVAC control to reduce conditioning energy in occupied spaces. The paper makes three contributions. First, it defines a ten-term brand and domain taxonomy spanning scientific, technical, and public-facing vocabulary for the discipline. Second, it introduces three physical innovations — an evaporative colour solid, an aerobic mulching pebble, and a self-watering self-cooling planter — each crafted from upcycled post-consumer waste. Third, it presents the complete technical vocabulary of 43 system entities organised across an eight-layer schema architecture, from physical hardware identity and spatial voxel discretisation through state measurement, causal transaction modelling, occupant comfort profiling, temporal pattern learning, to carbon accounting and agentic AI control. Every entity is formally defined and attributed to its originating patent application. This paper serves as the permanent open-access origination reference for the biothermal microconditioning discipline and the authoritative source for all BT-prefixed terminology.
