Most platforms are not cooled (I think GC is an exception). Please elaborate. Don’t see how this saves energy unless you are cooling the subway platforms.

As it is right now, the trains stop within a foot or so of the same spot every time. This week, get on the train at the same spot every day. See how often the doors line up accurately. They're usually pretty good. There might need to be a need to have better onboard technology that allows them to stop more accurately, versus eyeballing it. Yeah I think they can.
