Document off-peak as a whole-meter tariff billed day/night (ADR-0014 amendment + glossary)
Resolves the ADR-0014 off-peak deferral: off-peak is a property of the meter (every electric end use splits day/night by its own High-Rate Fraction, a calculator output), not a per-end-use fuel. Adds the Off-Peak Meter and High-Rate Fraction glossary terms. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The deterministic process that derives a Property's annual energy **bill**, composed into per-end-use sections (heating, hot water, lighting, appliances, cooking, pumps/fans, …) plus a **total**, by pricing **SAP10 Calculation**'s delivered kWh per end use at **current Fuel Rates** — each end use billed at its fuel's rate, rolled up per fuel for **standing charges** (metered fuels only — gas/electricity; oil/LPG/solid have none) minus **SEG** export credit on PV.

**Off-Peak Meter**:
|
||||
A dwelling's dual-rate electricity meter (Economy-7-style) charging a cheaper **night** rate and a dearer **day** rate. It is a property of the **meter, not of any one end use**: *every* electric end use — heating, hot water, lighting, appliances, cooking — is billed on it, each split day/night by its own **High-Rate Fraction**. Derived from the RdSAP `meter_type` (or, in synthesis, from the heating SAP code per the heating-system cluster). The calculator already prices the whole meter this way; **Bill Derivation** mirrors it. Pricing an off-peak dwelling's electricity at the single standard rate is wrong in *both* directions — it over-bills night-shifted storage heat and under-bills daytime appliances.

_Avoid_: Economy 7 (the common brand, but the model is tariff-agnostic — 7/10/18/24-hour all map here), off-peak fuel (it is a meter arrangement, not a distinct fuel carrier)

**High-Rate Fraction**:
|
||||
The fraction of one electric end use's annual kWh billed at the **day** (high) rate on an **Off-Peak Meter**; the remainder bills at the **night** (low) rate. A **calculator output** per end use (SAP 10.2 Table 12a — storage heating ≈ 0 / all-night, lighting & appliances ≈ 0.8–0.9 / mostly-day), reused by **Bill Derivation** rather than re-derived, so the bill's day/night split never diverges from the rating's. Unregulated loads SAP does not rate (appliances, cooking) inherit the Table-12a `ALL_OTHER_USES` fraction.

**UCL Correction**:

The per-band linear correction (Few et al. 2023, _Energy & Buildings_ 288 113024) that aligns EPC-modelled Primary Energy Intensity with metered consumption. Folded into ML training labels at fit time (per ADR-0007) rather than applied at runtime — the trained model emits metered-equivalent PEUI directly, avoiding the discontinuities at EPC band boundaries that arose when the per-band linear correction was applied post-prediction. Calibrated against gas-heated, non-PV homes in England and Wales rated under SAP 2012; the current implementation extrapolates it to all properties (open question §15.14).

Per-measure `recommendation.kwh_savings` / `energy_cost_savings` come from a **bill cascade over the role-3 best-practice order** (fabric → heating → renewables) — re-bill each cumulative prefix and diff, telescoping exactly to the plan totals (mirroring the SAP role-3 attribution; reuses the per-prefix `sap_result`s, no extra calls). Per-measure savings can be **negative** (ventilation increases energy) and still telescope.

## Amendment (2026-06-24): off-peak is a whole-meter tariff, day/night split per end use from the calculator's Table 12a fractions
|
||||
|
||||
Resolves the §4 / Deferred "off-peak day/night split" — forced by a `modelling_e2e` failure (`no rate for fuel ELECTRICITY_OFF_PEAK`) on an off-peak-metered dwelling, where the snapshot's E7 day/night entry was deliberately skipped (no single `unit_rate_p_per_kwh`) and `BillDerivation` raised `UnpricedFuel`. Decided in a `/grill-with-docs` session.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Off-peak is a property of the METER, not of an end use.** An Economy-7-style dwelling has *one* dual-rate meter, and **every** electric end use — heating, hot water, *and* lighting / pumps-fans / appliances / cooking — bills on it (the calculator already prices the whole meter this way via Table 12a Grid 1 + Grid 2). The pre-amendment `EnergyBreakdown` modelled off-peak as a per-end-use *fuel* that only heating/HW could carry, hard-wiring the other electric lines to standard `ELECTRICITY` — a **latent under-pricing** of the daytime appliance/lighting load (standard 24.67p vs off-peak day 29.73p), the mirror of the heating over-pricing that folding-to-standard would cause. So the breakdown now models off-peak as a **whole-meter tariff**: on an off-peak meter, `from_sap_result` routes *all* electric lines to `Fuel.ELECTRICITY_OFF_PEAK`. This needs an **off-peak-meter signal on `SapResult`** (a fraction of 1.0 on the off-peak day rate is not the same as standard electricity).
|
||||
|
||||
- **The day/night split is the calculator's existing Table 12a high-rate fraction, surfaced as a calculator output.** Each end use's **High-Rate Fraction** (fraction of its kWh at the day/high rate; remainder at night/low) is already computed inside `cert_to_inputs` (`_main_space_heating_high_rate_fraction`, `water_heating_high_rate_fraction`, the Table-13 immersion blend, the HP-DHW exception, `other_use_high_rate_fraction` for Grid 2) and folded into a blended *Table-32* cost the bill discards. Per the "fuel is a calculator output" amendment above, the **fraction is now also calculator output** — threaded `CalculatorInputs → SapResult` per end use — so the bill **reuses** it rather than re-deriving a second day/night model that would drift from the rating. Unregulated loads SAP does not rate (appliances, cooking) have no Table 12a fraction; they **inherit the `ALL_OTHER_USES` fraction** (same Grid-2 row + daytime-weighted profile as lighting) — a documented extension, since SAP itself never splits them.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Representation: fraction-on-the-line; rates stay in `FuelRates`.** `EnergyLine` gains an optional `high_rate_fraction` (`None` = single-rate fuel). `FuelRates` gains a **day/night accessor** for `ELECTRICITY_OFF_PEAK` (the repository now reads the snapshot's existing `day_p_per_kwh` / `night_p_per_kwh`). `BillDerivation` prices an off-peak line at `kwh × (frac × day_rate + (1−frac) × night_rate)`. Rejected: (a) **pre-splitting kWh into day/night lines** upstream — leaks rate-tier structure into the calculator/adapter and doubles the section roll-up; (b) the **blended day/night rate handed over by the calculator** — that is the calculator pricing at real rates, the exact boundary §2 draws.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Rejected shortcuts (both re-open closed decisions).** *Fold `ELECTRICITY_OFF_PEAK` → standard `ELECTRICITY`*: knowingly mis-prices in both directions (≈+45% on night-shifted storage heat, under-prices daytime loads). *A single hand-blended off-peak `unit_rate` in the snapshot*: reintroduces the legacy `AnnualBillSavings.py` **blended `PRICE_FACTOR`** anti-pattern this ADR's Context rewrote away from — the day/night weighting is per-end-use and per-dwelling, not a property of the rate.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Safety: no-op for unaffected certs.** Standard-tariff dwellings are unchanged (every fraction is 1.0 and the carrier stays `ELECTRICITY`). Off-peak dwellings currently **hard-crash** (`UnpricedFuel` aborts the batch, §1), so there is no passing bill value to regress — they move from crash → priced. SAP scores are untouched: the bill is output-only and never feeds the rating.
