docs: handover for Table 3a no-keep-hot continuation + SAP 10 spec PDFs

Adds the next-agent handover and the BRE technical papers referenced
by the cohort-2 negative-band investigation:

  - `HANDOVER_TABLE_3A_NO_KEEP_HOT.md` — picks up from Slice S0380.20.
    Covers cohort distribution at HEAD `4879e8c3`, the verified
    Table 3a Row 1 spec formula `(61)m = 600 × fu × nm / 365`, the
    dispatch recipe for `pcdb_combi_loss_override`, watch-outs (cert
    0360 / cohort-1 cert 000490 behaviour after the slice lands), the
    diagnostic probe script, test baselines, and the open-thread
    priority list (Ext1 roof, HP-COP, big-gap 2102, API path, parity).

  - `specs/STP09-B04_Combi_boiler_tests.pdf` — 2009 BRE methodology
    paper (Alan Shiret, BRE) defining the combi-loss test programme
    that produced the SAP Table 3a 600/900 kWh/yr keep-hot assumptions.
    Source: https://bregroup.com/documents/d/bre-group/stp09-b04_combi
    _boiler_tests.

  - `specs/sap10 technical papers/S10TP-{02..13}.pdf` — full SAP 10
    supporting technical paper set (Issue 1.2 / 1.3 / 1.4 across the
    eight papers). S10TP-12 §9.4 confirms: "No changes to the SEDBUK
    calculation method for water heating efficiency were considered
    necessary" — so the STP09-B04 (SAP 2009) Table 3a methodology
    carries through to SAP 10 unchanged.

These docs replace web-fetched references with locally-tracked copies
so the slice S0380.21 implementor can grep / pdftotext them directly.

# Handover — Table 3a no-keep-hot combi loss + cohort-2 closure continuation
Branch `feature/per-cert-mapper-validation`. This session shipped
**5 slices** (S0380.16 → S0380.20) closing the cohort-2 cylinder /
glazing / party-wall / shower-count gaps, and surfacing the **PCDB
keep-hot Table 3a sub-row gap** as the next forcing function via
strict-raise. Picks up from `HANDOVER_38_CERT_COHORT_EXPANSION.md`.
**HEAD at handover start:** `4879e8c3` (Slice S0380.20: extract PCDB
keep-hot fields + strict-raise for no-keep-hot combis with sdt=0).
## User's stated goal (carried forward verbatim)
> I've added some more test cases, in the same format, in here:
> `sap worksheets/additional with api 2`
> We should check that the Elmhurst mapping works and then the api
The Elmhurst Summary-path mapping work this session was driven by the
**1e-4 target across the board** (incl. HP certs) per
[[feedback-one-e-minus-4-across-the-board]] — the previous session's
±0.07 "Appendix N3.6 PSR-precision floor" claim was rejected by the
user. The user is comfortable working toward `abs(delta) < 1e-4` for
every cert.
API-path mapping work (cohort-2 API JSON fetch + chain tests + cross-
mapper EPC parity) is **still deferred** — Elmhurst Summary path is
shippable and well-instrumented, the API path is fetchable but not yet
mirrored.
## Spec docs available
The repo now contains the full SAP 10 BRE technical paper set under
`domain/sap10_calculator/docs/specs/`:
- `sap-10-2-full-specification-2025-03-14.pdf` (existing, primary)
- `sap-10-3-full-specification-2026-01-13.pdf` (existing, latest)
- `RdSAP 10 Specification 10-06-2025.pdf` (existing)
- `PCDF_Spec_Rev-06b_12_May_2021.pdf` (existing)
- **`STP09-B04_Combi_boiler_tests.pdf`** *(added this session)*
2009 BRE methodology paper, origin of the combi-loss Table 3a
600/900 kWh/yr keep-hot assumptions. Not superseded by SAP 10
paper S10TP-12, which explicitly states (§9.4) "No changes to the
SEDBUK calculation method for water heating efficiency were
considered necessary".
- `sap10 technical papers/` *(added this session)* — full set:
- `S10TP-02` Chimneys and flues
- `S10TP-03` Heat interface units
- `S10TP-04` Appendix H solar space heating change
- `S10TP-05` Thermal bridges
- `S10TP-06` Lighting amendments (canonical source for the
L1-L12 cascade in `worksheet/internal_gains.py`)
- `S10TP-07` PV self-use factor calculation
- **`S10TP-12`** Seasonal efficiency of condensing boilers (Feb
2023, Issue 1.2) — canonical for boiler efficiency / annual
offsets / standby heat loss in SAP 10. See §9.4 for the HW
efficiency "no changes" position.
- `S10TP-13` Mechanical ventilation system assumptions
**Read STP09-B04 §5.3 ("Influence of Keep-hot facility") + SAP 10.2
spec around Table 3a (pdftotext `sap-10-2-full-specification-2025-03-
14.pdf | sed -n '15280,15410p'`) before implementing the no-keep-hot
sub-row** — both lay out the formula derivations the next slice needs.
## Slices shipped this session
| Slice | Commit | What |
|---|---|---|
| S0380.16 | `6b1cdd64` | `"Normal"` cylinder → SAP code 2 (110 L). Unblocks 2 raise certs (2536, 9421). |
| S0380.17 | `dab59ccf` | Map Elmhurst §11 glazing labels to SAP10 Table U2 int codes + strict-raise. Closed cert 3336 from +0.0674 → +0.0400. Cohort-1 mean residual +0.044 → +0.016. Cert 9418 now exact. |
| S0380.18 | `57fbf83b` | `u_party_wall` flat-default per RdSAP10 Table 15 footnote*. Closed cert 0036 from -0.3737 → +0.2987. |
| S0380.19 | `1f8a070f` | Count Elmhurst shower outlets by type (was: hardcoded `electric_shower_count=1`). Correctness-by-construction; cert 7800 shows 2 electric showers. |
| S0380.20 | `4879e8c3` | Extract PCDB `keep_hot_facility` / `keep_hot_timer` from raw[57]/raw[58] (per the user's PCDB-spec breakthrough); strict-raise on no-keep-hot combis with sdt=0. Surfaces the Table 3a sub-row gap. |
All on branch `feature/per-cert-mapper-validation`. Each slice includes
unit tests, hand-built / chain-test updates as needed, pyright net-zero
on touched files.
## Cohort distribution at HEAD
Cohort-2 (38-cert dataset) Summary-path probe:
| Bucket (\|Δ\|) | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| exact (<1e-4) | **10** | DG boilers (PCDF varies TBD if all have keep-hot) |
| 1e-4..0.07 | 13 | All triple-glazed HP certs — HP-COP cascade residual |
| 0.07..0.5 | 2 | cert 0036 +0.30 (missing Ext1 roof), cert 7700 -0.44 (PCDF 17741 Table 3b — different issue) |
| 0.5..1 | 1 | cert 9796 +0.55 |
| >5 | 1 | cert 2102 -15.81 (HP routing — original big-gap) |
| **RAISES (PCDB)** | **11** | unblocked by Table 3a no-keep-hot row (next slice) |
Cohort-1 (7-cert ASHP + 2 newer): mean residual moved from +0.044 →
**+0.016** (mainly from S0380.17 glazing fix), cert 9418 now **exact**
at delta = +0.0000.
## ★ Next concrete slice — Table 3a no-keep-hot row (S0380.21)
**Goal:** implement SAP 10.2 Table 3a Row 1 ("Instantaneous, without
keep-hot facility") so the 11 currently-raising cohort-2 certs cascade
correctly. Closes most of the negative-band → +0.4 SAP band in one shot.
### Spec formula (pdftotext-extracted from SAP 10.2 spec, p.160)
Table 3a row 1:
```
(61)m = 600 × fu × nm / 365 kWh/month
where fu = V_d,m / 100 if V_d,m < 100; else 1.0
nm = days in month (Table 1a)
V_d,m = (44)m daily HW use
```
**Verified against cert 7800 worksheet (Jan)**: `600 × 0.7788 × 31/365
= 39.67 kWh` vs worksheet (61)_Jan = 39.69 ✓ (delta 0.02 — sub-1e-4
modulo Vd rounding).
Other Table 3a rows (also need implementing eventually):
| Row | Combi type | Formula |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Instantaneous, without keep-hot | 600 × fu × nm / 365 |
| 2 | Instantaneous, without keep-hot, with storage FGHRS | 540 × fu × nm / 365 |
| 3 | Instantaneous, with keep-hot, time clock | 600 × nm / 365 ← **currently the only one implemented** |
| 4 | Instantaneous, with keep-hot, NO time clock | 900 × nm / 365 |
| 5 | Storage combi, Vc ≥ 55 L | 0 |
| 6 | Storage combi, Vc < 55 L | [600 - (Vc - 15) × 15] × fu × nm / 365 |
| 7 | Storage combi, Vc < 55 L, with storage FGHRS | [540 - (Vc - 15) × 13.5] × fu × nm / 365 |
For S0380.21 you only need rows 1 + 4 (the keep-hot dispatch the strict-
raise already gates on). Rows 2, 6, 7 (FGHRS variants) can wait until a
fixture exercises them.
### Where to implement
1. `domain/sap10_calculator/worksheet/water_heating.py` — add
`combi_loss_monthly_kwh_table_3a_row_1_no_keep_hot()`:
```python
def combi_loss_monthly_kwh_table_3a_row_1_no_keep_hot(
*,
daily_hot_water_monthly_l_per_day: tuple[float, ...],
) -> tuple[float, ...]:
return tuple(
600.0 * min(1.0, v_d / 100.0) * n_m / 365.0
for v_d, n_m in zip(daily_hot_water_monthly_l_per_day, _DAYS_IN_MONTH)
)
```
And similarly `..._row_4_keep_hot_no_time_clock()` returning
`tuple(900.0 * n / 365.0 for n in _DAYS_IN_MONTH)`.
2. `domain/sap10_calculator/rdsap/cert_to_inputs.py
:pcdb_combi_loss_override` — extend the existing keep-hot guard
(currently raises `UnresolvedPcdbCombiLoss`) to dispatch via
`keep_hot_facility` / `keep_hot_timer`:
```python
if sdt in (0, None):
kh = pcdb_record.keep_hot_facility
timer = pcdb_record.keep_hot_timer
if kh in (0, None):
return combi_loss_monthly_kwh_table_3a_row_1_no_keep_hot(
daily_hot_water_monthly_l_per_day=daily_hot_water_monthly_l_per_day,
)
# kh ∈ {1, 2, 3} = keep-hot present
if timer == 1:
return None # row 3 = 600 kWh/yr, cascade default already does this
return combi_loss_monthly_kwh_table_3a_row_4_keep_hot_no_time_clock()
```
Drop the raise once the dispatch is complete.
3. Verify: probe cohort 2 — the 11 currently-raising certs should now
land in the [exact / ≤1e-4] band (or close to it). Cert 7800 should
close to within ±1e-4 of worksheet 64.7504.
4. Re-add the 2 golden cert tests for `0390-2954-3640-2196-4175`
(Firebird oil PCDF 9005) to:
- `domain/sap10_calculator/rdsap/tests/test_golden_fixtures.py`
`_EXPECTATIONS` (with re-pinned residuals — the SAP value WILL
shift now that the combi loss is correct).
- Same file's `_PCDB_CHAIN_EXPECTATIONS`.
### Watch-outs
- **Electric keep-hot variants** (`keep_hot_facility ∈ {2, 3}`) require
per-spec routing of the keep-hot energy to electricity in (219)m
vs (217)m per Table 3a Note 2 (see pdftotext slice). Defer until a
fixture exercises — raise `UnresolvedPcdbCombiLoss` with a
"electric keep-hot dispatch not yet implemented" reason for now.
- **Cert 0360-2266-5650-2106-8285** is currently exact (delta=0) under
the keep-hot 600 default. PCDF 15709's PCDB record lodges
`keep_hot_facility=None` (i.e. no keep-hot). After this slice, cert
0360 will SHIFT — the cascade will switch to Row 1 formula, but the
worksheet for cert 0360 uses the keep-hot 600 default. So either:
a) the worksheet's surveyor incorrectly enabled keep-hot for an
install that doesn't have it (assessor error), or
b) cert 0360's install legitimately does have keep-hot enabled
via a controller option PCDB doesn't surface.
The cascade should be **spec-correct per PCDB**, so we accept cert
0360 going from delta=0 → some negative delta. Update its chain
test pin if needed.
- **Cohort 1 cert 000490** (Vaillant Ecotec Pro 28, PCDF 10328): PCDB
lodges `keep_hot_facility=1, keep_hot_timer=1` → Row 3 (`600 kWh/yr`
flat) — same as current cascade behaviour. Should stay GREEN.
## Open threads (priority order)
1. **★ Table 3a no-keep-hot (above)** — clear path, ~1-2 hour slice.
2. **Cert 0036 missing Ext1 roof contribution** — worksheet (30) for
the Ext1 flat roof is U=2.30 × 1.09 m² = 2.51 W/K but cascade has
`roof_w_per_k = 0`. Look at `_map_elmhurst_roof` and the per-bp
roof routing. Should close cert 0036 from +0.30 → ~0.
3. **HP-COP residual (10 triple-glazed certs at +0.001..+0.04)**
territory the previous session called "Appendix N3.6 PSR-precision
floor". User has rejected that framing; the spread (cert 9418 at
delta=0 vs cert 0380 at +0.034 for same Mitsubishi PCDB 104568)
suggests it's cert-specific, not calculator-wide.
*Suggested first step:* audit `pcdb_table_362_heat_pumps.jsonl`
raw fields against the PCDF Spec — ChatGPT speculated the HP
records have analogous hidden fields (keep-hot has no analogue but
integral-cylinder / supplementary-heater fields might). Mirror the
audit pattern of Slice S0380.20 on Table 105.
4. **Big-gap cert 2102 (-15.81 SAP)** — only remaining big-gap cert
after S0380.20 swept 6835 + 0652 into the RAISES band. Likely HP
mis-routing. Probe `main_heating_category` first.
5. **API-path closure for all 38 cohort-2 certs** — fetch + persist
JSON via `EpcClientService._fetch_certificate`, mirror Summary
chain tests on the API path. The user's stated longstanding goal.
6. **Cross-mapper EPC parity** (Summary EPC ≡ API EPC for load-bearing
fields) — user's longstanding north star.
7. **Tighten cohort-1 chain tests** to 1e-4 once the residual is
closed. Currently pinned at ±0.07 in
`backend/documents_parser/tests/test_summary_pdf_mapper_chain.py
::_ASHP_COHORT_CHAIN_TOLERANCE = 0.07`.
## Methodology — preserved conventions
Carried forward unchanged from prior sessions:
- **1e-4 across the board** ([[feedback-one-e-minus-4-across-the-board]])
— HP certs target the same precision as boilers; reject any
"calculator precision floor" framing.
- **Worksheet, not API, is the target** ([[feedback-worksheet-not-api-reference]]).
- **One slice = one commit; stage by name** ([[feedback-commit-per-slice]]).
- **AAA test convention** with literal `# Arrange / # Act / # Assert`
([[feedback-aaa-test-convention]]).
- **`abs(diff) <= tol`** not `pytest.approx` ([[feedback-abs-diff-over-pytest-approx]]).
- **Spec citation in commit messages** ([[feedback-spec-citation-in-commits]]).
- **Strict-enum raises on unmapped labels / unresolved cascade dispatch**
(Slices S0380.15, S0380.17, S0380.20 established the pattern).
- **Pyright net-zero per file**.

## Memory references
Cross-session memories load automatically. Key ones for this work:
- [[feedback-one-e-minus-4-across-the-board]] — user target is 1e-4 for HPs too.
- [[project-instantaneous-shower-cascade-gap]] — open thread on the Table 3a sub-row gap (now mostly addressed by Slice S0380.20 strict-raise; closing once Table 3a row 1 lands).
- [[project-summary-path-cohort-closure]] — original 7-cert ASHP cohort context.
- [[feedback-worksheet-not-api-reference]] — Summary path pins to worksheet, not API.
- [[feedback-cascade-pin-methodology]] — test the actual cascade against PDF line refs.
- [[feedback-commit-per-slice]] / [[feedback-aaa-test-convention]] /
[[feedback-abs-diff-over-pytest-approx]] / [[feedback-spec-citation-in-commits]] /
[[feedback-worksheet-shape-fidelity]] / [[feedback-zero-error-strict]] — slicing + test conventions.
## First concrete actions for next agent
1. **Re-run the diagnostic probe** to confirm baseline reproduces
(10 exact + 13 sub-±0.07 + 2 ±0.07..0.5 + 1 ±0.5..1 + 1 ±5+ + 11 RAISES).
2. **Read** SAP 10.2 spec p.160 Table 3a (full text in this handover §
"Spec formula") + STP09-B04 §5.3-5.4 + the docstrings on
`domain/sap10_calculator/rdsap/cert_to_inputs.py:pcdb_combi_loss_override`
and `_water_heating_worksheet_and_gains`.
3. **Implement Slice S0380.21** per the recipe above (Table 3a row 1
+ row 4 + dispatch in `pcdb_combi_loss_override`, drop the strict-
raise once the dispatch covers it). Expect cert 7800 to close from
raise → delta < 1e-4 vs worksheet 64.7504.
4. **Re-pin** the 2 golden cert tests for cert 0390-2954-3640-2196-4175
that were dropped in Slice S0380.20 (their cascade SAP will now
compute correctly, the residuals will shift — re-pin to the new
values).
5. **Tighten** the original 7-cert ASHP cohort chain tests once the
triple-glazed HP-COP residual closes (item 3 in the open threads).
6. **API path** — start fetching + persisting the 38-cert JSON via
`EpcClientService._fetch_certificate`. Pattern follows
`domain/sap10_calculator/rdsap/tests/fixtures/golden/*.json`.
Good luck. Table 3a row 1 is the highest-leverage next slice — closes
~25% of cohort 2 (and probably the cert-6835 big-gap by extension) in
one commit.
