From the CoolSky Buildings iterations document (Ch. 2: Cool Cell):
- Other architectural installations — Were there Cool Cell installations beyond Andy Shack in architectural (not cabinet) applications?
- Cabinet sales counts — What do Zomeworks’ records show? What is the source of the “about 70% of sales” claim?
- Measured cabinet performance — Is there performance data for the battery cabinet Cool Cells?
- 2002 production timetable — The 2002 paper projected architectural Cool Cell production “within 12 months.” Did any installation result?
- Dating ambiguity — Which came first: Cool Cell (the concept) or Andy Shack (the first architectural test)?
- Bill of materials — Is there a Cool Cell BOM or specification sheet?
Next action: questions 1–4 may be answerable from Zomeworks records (via Jose Baer or Benjamin Rodefer); question 5 needs the archive’s chronology cross-referenced; question 6 ask Bruce Davis.
