Pin the Dovestone water-only community DHW cert recovering to SAP 80 🟩

Full-SAP SAP-Schema-18.0.0 cert 9556-3047-3304-5355-1200 (Dovestone Gardens
Apt 4): communal heat-pump DHW + direct-electric room heaters. Was 67 (D) with
DHW mis-billed as direct-electric immersion; now 80 with DHW on the community
heat-pump fuel. Accredited Elmhurst worksheet 74 (evidence saved); the +6 is the
documented full-SAP measured-U/MVHR vs RdSAP age-band residual.

# Elmhurst RdSAP inputs — UPRN 10094112770 (cert 9556-3047-3304-5355-1200, SAP-Schema-18.0.0)
**Lodged SAP:** 81 (B) **Our engine:** 67 (D) ← compare Elmhurst against this
**Property:** Apartment 4, Dovestone Gardens, Briercliffe Road, BURNLEY, BB10 1BB (Calico portfolio 824, property 748351)
**Known divergence (the whole point of this cert):** the dwelling has **direct-electric
room heaters for space heat** + a **WATER-ONLY communal heat network for hot water**
(`water_heating_code 950`, `community_heating_use 2`; network = 90 % heat pump COP 3.24
+ 10 % boiler). Our engine drops the community DHW system and prices hot water as **raw
direct electric immersion** — 2,675 kWh ≈ £660 vs **lodged DHW cost £147**. That ~£500
DHW error is what drags lodged B/81 → effective D/67. Build the **Community Hot Water**
page below faithfully so Elmhurst prices DHW on the heat-pump network; that is the number
we are reconciling to. PR #1688 does not fix this case (its community mapping is gated on
a category-6 *main*; here the main is category-10 electric).

## Property Description
| Elmhurst field | Value | Notes (SAP code / EES path) |
|---|---|---|
| Property type | Flat | `property_type` 2 |
| Built form | End-terrace | `built_form` 3 |
| Flat position / which floor | Ground floor | `dwelling_type` = Ground-floor flat |
| Storeys in dwelling | 1 | single-storey flat |
| Above another dwelling? | No (ground floor) | floor is exposed/over unheated |
| Below another dwelling? | **Yes** | roof element = "(other premises above)" → no roof heat loss |
| Age band | **M — 2023 onwards** | 2025 inspection, genuine new build (band M is correct here) |
| Region | North West | BB (Burnley) |
| Country | England | `country_code` ENG |
## Dimensions
| Elmhurst field | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Total floor area | **58 m²** | `total_floor_area` 58; single building part "Main Dwelling" |
| Living area | 22.57 m² | `living_area` (→ living-area fraction 0.39; habitable rooms ≈ 3) |
| Room height | ≈ 2.4 m | not lodged in full-SAP payload; use standard new-build flat height |
| Exposed (external) wall area | **37.01 m² gross** | External Wall 1, `total_wall_area` 37.01, U 0.19 (net of ~14.7 m² openings) |
| Heat-loss perimeter | derive from 37.01 m² gross wall ÷ room height | full SAP lodges wall *area*, not perimeter |
## Walls
| Elmhurst field | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wall construction | As built / measured U | `walls` = "Average thermal transmittance 0.19 W/m²K" |
| Wall U-value | **0.19 W/m²K** | External Wall 1, `wall_type` 2 |
| Party wall | **Present — 2 party walls, U = 0** | `wall_type` 4, areas 21.02 + 15.98 m² (Elmhurst "Party wall" = adiabatic, no heat loss) |
## Roofs
| Elmhurst field | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Roof | **None / other premises above** | `roofs` = "(other premises above)" → 0 heat loss (flat below another dwelling) |
## Floors
| Elmhurst field | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Floor | As built / measured U | `floors` = "Average thermal transmittance 0.17 W/m²K" |
| Floor U-value | **0.17 W/m²K** | ground floor of the flat |
## Openings — Windows
| Elmhurst field | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Glazing type | High performance / triple or advanced double | `windows` = "High performance glazing", glazing_type 6, 100 % multiple glazed |
| Window U-value | **1.4 W/m²K** | joined opening-type U |
| Glazed area | as measured | 4 openings totalling ≈ 14.7 m² (W1 0.91×2.24, W2 1.58×2.24, W3+W4 7.08×1.0, W5 0.91×2.24); orientations NE/NW |
| Doors | **none** | `door_count` 0 (flat entrance internal / no external door lodged) |
## Ventilation & Lighting
| Elmhurst field | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ventilation type | **MEV (mechanical extract)** | `ventilation_type` 8; PCDB index **500167**, duct type 2 (rigid), insulated |
| Air permeability | **3.2 m³/h·m² (as tested)** | pressure test = yes |
| Wet rooms | 2 | |
| Sheltered sides | 2 | |
| Lighting | **100 % low-energy** | 10 of 10 fixed outlets low-energy |
## Space Heating — Main Heating 1
| Elmhurst field | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Main heat source | **Room heaters, electric** | `main_heating` desc; SAP code **691**, category 10, fuel 39 (electricity) |
| Emitter | n/a (direct-acting electric) | emitter_temperature "NA" |
| Main heating fraction | 1.0 | single main |
| Controls | **Programmer + appliance thermostats** | `main_heating_controls`; control code 2603 |
| Secondary heating | **None** | `secondary_heating` = None |
## Space Heating — Meters
| Elmhurst field | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Electricity tariff / meter | **Standard (single rate)** | `electricity_tariff` 1 — **NOT** Economy 7, so the off-peak over-rating bug does not apply here |
## Water Heating — **Community Hot Water** (the reconciliation target)
| Elmhurst field | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Water heating type | **Community / communal heat network** | `water_heating_code` **950** = water-only heat network; `hot_water` desc "Community scheme" |
| Community use | **Water heating only** | `community_heating_use` 2 (space heat is NOT on the network) |
| Heat source 1 | **Heat pump**, **90 %** heat fraction, **efficiency 324 %** (COP 3.24) | `heat_source_type` 3, `fuel_type` 41, `heat_efficiency` 324, `heat_fraction` 0.9 |
| Heat source 2 | **Boiler**, **10 %** heat fraction, efficiency **100 %** | `heat_source_type` 2, `fuel_type` 41, `heat_fraction` 0.1 |
| Distribution loss / type | **Type 3** | `community_heating_distribution_type` 3 |
| Charging linked to use | **Yes** | `charging_linked_to_heat_use` true |
| Cylinder in dwelling | **No** | `is_community_heating_cylinder_in_dwelling` false — no in-dwelling store |
| (cross-check) lodged DHW cost | **£147/yr** | this is the figure the correct build should land near |
## Anchors to check against Elmhurst output
| Quantity | Lodged (cert) | Our engine (buggy) |
|---|---|---|
| SAP | **81 B** | 67 D |
| Heating cost | £374 | ~£? (space-heat electric) |
| **Hot-water cost** | **£147** | **~£660 (raw electric — the bug)** |
| Lighting cost | £64 | — |
| RHI space / water demand | 1,186 / 1,909 kWh | space 1,039 / DHW 2,675 kWh |

# UPRN 10094112770 → cert 9556-3047-3304-5355-1200. SAP-Schema-18.0.0 — a
# FULL-SAP cert (2025 new-build GROUND-FLOOR FLAT, Dovestone Gardens,
# Burnley, TFA 58 m²). Direct-electric room heaters for space heat + a
# WATER-ONLY communal heat network for DHW (water_heating_code 950,
# community_heating_use 2; network = 90% heat pump @ COP 3.24 + 10% boiler,
# fuel 41). Lodged 81 (B); engine now produces 80.
#
# This cert IS the water-only community-DHW fix. The gov-API mapper dropped
# `sap_community_heating_systems` for a non-community (category-10) main, so
# the calculator priced communal heat-pump DHW as a DIRECT-ELECTRIC immersion
# cylinder (2675 kWh @ 13.19p ≈ £353) and pinned SAP at 67 (D). Mapping the
# network's fuel onto the DHW cascade (SAP Table 32 code 41 = heat from
# electric heat pump @ 4.24 p/kWh, COP priced into the row) bills DHW at £113
# and lifts SAP 67 → 80.
#
# Built in Elmhurst RdSAP10 on the lodged inputs (evidence saved:
# elmhurst_summary.pdf / elmhurst_worksheet.pdf): Elmhurst worksheet SAP 74
# (DHW 1839.64 kWh @ 4.24p = £78, heat pump 300%, distribution loss 1.5).
# The +6 (80 vs 74) is the documented full-SAP→RdSAP methodology gap: the
# engine uses the cert's MEASURED U-values (wall 0.19, floor 0.17) + MVHR
# (PCDB 500167) → space heat 1039 kWh, where Elmhurst RdSAP uses age-band-M
# proxies + a residual build AP50 (4.88 vs the cert's 3.2) → 1676 kWh. A
# KNOWN residual pulls the OTHER way (~-2): the engine still adds an in-
# dwelling cylinder storage loss (2675 vs the worksheet's cylinder-free 1839
# kWh) though the network cylinder is not in the dwelling — a follow-up DHW-
# energy refinement. PINNED TO THE OBSERVED 80 — mapping deliberately
# untuned; the Elmhurst delta is the full-SAP→RdSAP residual, NOT a bug.
