Probed all three variants (electric 3, oil 1, solid fuel 2) in this
thread. Each has a different driver despite the matching magnitude:
- electric 3: §9 useful-demand calc for ctrl=3 storage heaters
- oil 1: HW efficiency for Table 4b oil boiler (cascade 86% vs ws ~65%)
- solid fuel 2: HW kWh lodged in different line ref (re-probe needed)
Tested combined-R hypothesis (effective_R = (1-frac)·R_main + frac·R_sec
per SAP 10.2 §9b) — the cascade currently DOES NOT pass secondary_fraction
to mean_internal_temperature_monthly, so effective_R = R_main. Monkey-
patching to inject combined R REGRESSES electric 3 (+2.55 → +3.17)
because raising R lowers cascade demand — opposite of needed direction.
Recommends taking the three variants as separate per-variant slices.
