From 4c50c1b0fbe643ef1af71ad9e33f31c8dcd3f1cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Khalim Conn-Kowlessar Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 16:21:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] slice S-B15: meter_type drives tariff selection (replaces heating-code heuristic) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Per user guidance: trust the cert's lodged meter_type as the source of truth for tariff selection, rather than inferring tariff from heating code lists. SAP10 meter_type enum (verified empirically on the 250k corpus: 75% type 2, 14% type 1, 11% type 3): 1 = Off-peak (Economy-7 / dual rate) 2 = Single (Standard) 3 = Off-peak (24-hour heating) The transform.py docstring describes 1=Standard / 2=Off-peak but that contradicts the 75% type-2 distribution (UK demographics don't put 75% of dwellings on off-peak). The inverted reading parity-tests correctly. Tariff routing rules: - Space heating: off-peak rate when main fuel is electric AND meter is off-peak; else standard main-fuel rate. - Hot water: off-peak rate when water fuel is electric AND meter is off-peak; else water-fuel rate. - Lighting + pumps + fans: always standard electricity (Table 12a notwithstanding — cert software empirically uses standard here). 100-cert parity probe: MAE 4.40 → 4.39 (flat in aggregate; structurally cleaner code) RMSE 5.63 → 5.56 bias +0.16 → -0.17 within ±10: 96% (unchanged) The meter_type seam replaces the e7_eligible_main_codes set on PriceTable. Conceptually cleaner: tariff is a property of the meter, not the heating system.
