SAP 10.2 Table 12 footnote (t) (PDF p.189): "PE factors for grid
electricity vary by month. The average figure given in this table is
therefore not used directly. Instead the monthly factors given in
Table 12e should be used in the SAP worksheet." Footnote (s) says the
same for CO2 / Table 12d. Read literally, monthly factors apply to
every electric end-use including dual-rate HW.
The BRE-approved Elmhurst rdSAP engine doesn't follow that reading
for HW. The 41-variant heating-systems corpus controlled-variable
fixture lodges worksheet (278) "Water heating (low-rate cost)" with
factor **1.5010 PE / 0.136 CO2** (Table 12 annual flat) across every
dual-rate tariff cert, while applying the monthly Table 12e/12d
cascade to lighting (1.5338 winter-weighted) and secondary heating
(1.5715) on the same certs. It's an engine implementation choice,
not a documented spec exception.
Per [[feedback-software-no-special-handling]] the calculator
contract is bit-faithful replication of the engine, not literal
compliance with the spec text. This slice flips cascade
`_hot_water_primary_factor` + `_hot_water_co2_factor_kg_per_kwh` to
accept a `tariff: Tariff` parameter:
- STANDARD tariff → Table 12e/12d monthly cascade weighted
by HW demand seasonality (unchanged from
S0380.71 / .72, matches cohort-1 ASHP
standard-tariff worksheet)
- 7-hour / 10-hour /
18-hour / 24-hour → Table 12 annual flat (1.501 / 0.136)
matching the Elmhurst worksheet (278)
"Water heating (low-rate cost)" row
Per-line walk on electric 3 (18-hour tariff, electric immersion HW,

Wire Sap10Calculator into PropertyBaselineOrchestrator as a non-load-bearing
shadow runner. For each property it scores the Effective EPC beside the
load-bearing Lodged/Effective write, catches any strict-raise -> log.error
(never aborts the batch), and on success log.warning's divergence from Lodged:
SAP |continuous - lodged| > 0.5; PEUI/CO2 > 1% relative (CO2 after kg->tonnes).
Every line is tagged with sap_version so SAP-10.2 signal separates from
older-spec drift (ADR-0010 Validation Cohort).
Per ADR-0013, Calculated SAP10 Performance is not a persisted third value-set:
effective = calculated in every baselining scenario, so the calculator IS the
mechanism that produces Effective Performance (the Rebaseliner). It runs in
shadow only while being hardened; when overrides/estimation land it is promoted
to drive Effective and the failure posture flips to abort (ADR-0012, calculator
now load-bearing). No table change.

SAP 10.2 Appendix N3.1 (PDF p.105) "Circulation pump and fan":
"For electric heat pumps: The electricity used by the water
circulation pump or fan is included within the calculated annual
space and hot water heating efficiency and is not included in
worksheet (230c). **The default heat gain from Table 5a is included
via worksheet (70).**"
This rule applies the Table 5a row "Central heating pump in heated
space" GAIN (3 / 10 / 7 W per pump-age bucket) to electric heat
pumps even though the pump ELECTRICITY is hidden in the COP and
excluded from (230c). The "Not applicable for electric heat pumps
from database" clause in Table 5a footnote a) scopes only to the
PCDB-Table-362 cascade case (Appendix N1.2.1: "For heat pumps held
in the PCDB ... a single water circulation pump serving the heat
emitters is sufficient" — pump kWh AND gain embedded in COP).
S0380.160 over-stripped the gain by zeroing pump_w for every HP
category-4 main, conflating the PCDB-Table-362 case with the Table-4a
default cascade. This slice refines the HP gate in
`_any_main_system_has_central_heating_pump`:
- Cat 4 HP WITH `main_heating_index_number` lodged (PCDB Table
362) → continue (skip; pump in COP per N1.2.1);
- Cat 4 HP with SAP code in `_TABLE_4A_WARM_AIR_SAP_CODES` (Cat 5
warm-air HPs distribute via ducted air, no water circulation
pump; warm-air fan handled separately by Table 5a "Warm air
heating system fans" row, S0380.161) → continue;
- Otherwise (Cat 4 HP, Table 4a default cascade, water-emitter)

The -3 W winter gain shortfall over-stated cascade (84) Total gains
by -3 W in heating months → cascade SH demand +12.27 kWh/yr
(cascade 9302 vs worksheet 9290), pushing continuous SAP down 0.024
because the cost residual was driven by the +1.5 kWh × 12 month

SAP 10.2 Table 5a (PDF p.177) row "Warm air heating system fans

the default SFP to 1.5 W/(l/s) when no PCDB warm-air-unit record
is lodged; footnote a) applies the heating-season-only mask
(zero in summer months). Footnote c) further omits the gain when
the dwelling has balanced whole-house mechanical ventilation
(MVHR / MV) — same omission as the Table 4f kWh-side footnote e).
Pre-slice the cascade's `internal_gains_from_cert` only wired the
central-heating-pump row of Table 5a; the warm-air-fan gain helper
(`warm_air_heating_fan_w`) existed but was unwired. The kWh-side
parallel (Table 4f, 136.35 kWh/yr) was wired in S0380.158 — this

13.635 W = 1.5 × 0.04 × 227.25 exactly. The -13.6 W winter gain
shortfall propagates through the §7 utilisation cascade and over-
states cascade SH demand by ~57 kWh/yr (cascade 9483 vs worksheet

SAP 10.2 Table 5a (PDF p.177) row "Central heating pump in heated
space" only applies to mains with a water-loop circulation pump.
Footnote a) names two exclusions verbatim ("Does not apply if a
heating system used solely for domestic hot water. ... Not applicable
for electric heat pumps from database."), and the row's name carries
the implicit third: dry mains with no central heating pump (electric
storage heaters, electric direct-acting, solid-fuel room heaters
without back-boilers) — the row simply doesn't list them.
Pre-slice `internal_gains_from_cert` gated only on Note a) (HP
exclusion), applying `central_heating_pump_w(date_category=...)` to
every non-HP main. The default UNKNOWN-date branch added 7 W of pump
gain to (70)m for every dry-system fixture in the controlled-variable

The +7 W winter-month gain lowered cascade SH demand by ~38 kWh/yr
(cascade 11050 vs worksheet 11088). At Table 32 18-hour low-rate
~7.4 p/kWh that's £2.50/yr under-charging — matching the cluster's
uniform Δcost = -£1.96..-£2.80 pattern. Continuous SAP rose ~+0.10

SAP 10.2 Table 4a (PDF p.166) Cat 7 "Electric storage heaters"
splits the responsiveness R between two sub-tables:
Off-peak tariff:
Slimline storage heaters ... R = 0.2 402
Convector storage heaters ... R = 0.2 403
Slimline + Celect-type control ... R = 0.4 405
Convector + Celect-type ctrl ... R = 0.4 406
24-hour heating tariff:
Slimline storage heaters ... R = 0.4 402
Convector storage heaters ... R = 0.4 403
Slimline + Celect-type control ... R = 0.6 405
Convector + Celect-type ctrl ... R = 0.6 406
Per SAP 10.2 §12.4.3 (PDF p.36) the 18-hour tariff has electricity
at low rate for 18 hours per day with at most 6h of interruption /
2h max each — operationally equivalent to 24-hour for storage-heater
charging. The cascade therefore routes EIGHTEEN_HOUR + TWENTY_FOUR_
HOUR through the 24-hour Table 4a sub-row.
Pre-slice `_responsiveness` keyed on `sap_main_heating_code` only
and returned R=0.2 for code 402 regardless of tariff. The existing
docstring already flagged the gap:
402: 0.20, # Slimline storage heaters (24-hr tariff: 0.40)
... "promote to (sap_code, tariff) lookup when 24-hour fixture
surfaces; until then the off-peak default applies (under-shoots
R for the 24-hour case)."

Tsc(R=0.4) = 0.6 × (21-2) + 0.4 × (4.3 + 0.9933 × 705.4/210.23)

SAP 10.2 Table 4f (PDF p.174) row "Warm air heating system fans"
+ footnote e) — verbatim:
Warm air heating system fans e) SFP × 0.4 × V
e) SFP is the specific fan power from the database record for the
warm air unit if applicable; otherwise 1.5 W/(l/s). These values
of SFP include the in-use factor.
If the heating system is a warm air unit and there is balanced
whole house mechanical ventilation, the electricity for warm
air circulation should not be included in addition to the
electricity for mechanical ventilation. However it is included
for a warm air system and MEV or PIV from outside.
V is the volume of the dwelling in m³.
Per Table 4a (PDF p.165-166), warm-air systems are:
- Category 5: heat pumps with warm-air distribution (codes 521,
523, 524 electric; 525, 526, 527 gas-fired)
- Category 9: warm-air systems NOT heat pump (501-511, 520 gas-
fired; 512-514 liquid-fired; 515 Electricaire electric)
Pre-slice the cascade's `_table_4f_additive_components` docstring
explicitly listed "(230b) Warm-air heating fans + (230c) for warm-
air pump" as "Not yet wired" — every Cat 5 / Cat 9 warm-air corpus
variant resolved `pumps_fans_kwh_per_yr` to 0. For electric 2 (code
524 Cat 5 air-source warm-air HP, no MV, V = 227.25 m³), the P960
worksheet block 11a (249) lodges 136.35 kWh × 13.67 p/kWh = £18.64
where the cascade computed 0.
New `_TABLE_4A_WARM_AIR_SAP_CODES` frozenset (22 codes) + leaf helper
`_table_4f_warm_air_heating_fans_kwh(main, dwelling_volume_m3,

SAP 10.2 Table 2b note b) (PDF p.159) — verbatim:
Multiply Temperature Factor by 0.9 if there is separate time
control of domestic hot water (boiler systems, warm air systems
and heat pump systems).
The parenthetical list restricts the rule to systems where the heat
generator (boiler / warm-air / HP) is the device heating the
cylinder. Electric immersion is NOT in that list because the
immersion isn't a heat-generator system feeding DHW — it sits inside
the cylinder. The ×0.9 multiplier reflects shorter cylinder-heating
periods when a boiler / HP / warm-air operates on a separate timer
for DHW vs SH; if the heat generator doesn't feed the cylinder at all
(because the immersion does), there's no such timing effect.
Pre-slice `_separately_timed_dhw` returned True for any Cat 4 HP
main BEFORE consulting WHC (line 3872 `if main.main_heating_category
== 4: return True`). For electric 2 (sap_main_heating_code=524 Cat 5
warm-air ASHP, main_heating_category=4 per Elmhurst mapper, WHC=903
electric immersion + cylinder + cylinder thermostat lodged), the
cat-4 branch fired before the existing `_is_electric_water` check
could route the cert to False. The cascade applied ×0.9 to the
Temperature Factor (53), pulling (55) from 1.2294 → 1.1064 → cascade
annual (56) = 403.87 vs worksheet (56) annual = 448.73.
Same WHC=903 principle as the prior slice S0380.156 (Table 3 zero-
loss list for electric immersion): when HW is independent of the
main heating, main-heating-specific DHW rules don't apply — even
when the main happens to be a HP / boiler / warm-air system.
Fix: new top-of-function `if epc.sap_heating.water_heating_code ==
_WHC_ELECTRIC_IMMERSION: return False` guard in
`_separately_timed_dhw`. Reuses the constant introduced in S0380.156.
Closures electric 2:
Cylinder (56) storage loss annual 403.87 → 448.73 (matches
worksheet 1.2294 × 365 = 448.73 EXACT within rounding)
HW kWh demand 2339.24 → 2384.12 (matches worksheet (62)/(64) =
2384.116 EXACT)
ΔSAP +0.8118 → +0.7002
Δcost −£18.71 → −£16.14
ΔCO2 −7.21 → −2.37 kg
ΔPE −161.68 → −108.58 kWh
The remaining +0.70 SAP residual is a separate upstream gap (likely
warm-air-HP SH cascade or Table 4a SH efficiency for code 524) —
follow-up slice.
No regressions on the other 24 cohort variants. Cohort-1 ASHP certs
(Cat 4 HP + WHC=901 = HW from HP + cylinder) keep ×0.9 as before
because their WHC=901 doesn't trigger the new guard. Extended
handover suite: 901 pass / 0 fail (was 900 — +1 from the new AAA
test). Pyright net-zero (43 → 43).

SAP 10.2 Table 3 (PDF p.160) verbatim:
Primary loss is set to zero for the following:
Electric immersion heater
Combi boiler ...
CPSU ...
Boiler and thermal store within a single casing
Separate boiler and thermal store connected by no more than 1.5
m of insulated pipework
Direct-acting electric boiler
Heat pump (...) with hot water vessel integral to package
The Elmhurst WHC=903 lodging signals exactly the first row: "HW from
a separate electric immersion heater" — the cylinder is heated by an
immersion element inside the tank, no primary pipework between any
heat generator and the cylinder. The rule is universal: regardless
of what main heating exists for space heating, electric immersion
means no primary circuit means no primary loss.
Pre-slice `_primary_loss_applies` only consulted `water_heating_code`
in the Table 4a wet-boiler branch (codes 151-161 / 191-196). The Cat
4 HP branch returned True unconditionally when no PCDB record was
lodged; the Cat 1/2 boiler branch returned True unconditionally; the
PCDB Table 322 + Table 4b non-PCDB branches likewise. For the
electric 2 corpus variant (sap_main_heating_code=524 Cat 5 warm-air
ASHP, main_heating_category=4 per Elmhurst mapper, no PCDB record,
WHC=903 + cylinder), the Cat-4 branch falsely returned True and the
cascade added ~510 kWh/yr primary loss to a system with no primary
circuit at all.
Per-line walk discipline applied: cascade `water_heating_from_cert`
output dump showed `primary_loss_monthly_kwh_annual = 509.98` while
worksheet (59)m = 0 every month → spec lookup found Table 3 verbatim
"Electric immersion heater" zero-loss line.
Adds `_WHC_ELECTRIC_IMMERSION: Final[int] = 903` constant + a
top-of-function `if water_heating_code == _WHC_ELECTRIC_IMMERSION:
return False` guard that fires before any of the system-type-keyed
branches.
Closures electric 2:
HW kWh 2849.22 → 2339.24 (matches worksheet (62)/(64) = 2384.12
within the residual ~45 kWh storage-loss gap)
ΔSAP −0.4584 → +0.8118 (cascade swung past the worksheet by +1.27
— the pre-slice 'near-correct' value was offsetting cascade bugs

exposes a separate upstream gap to chase in a follow-up slice)
Δcost +£10.56 → −£18.71
ΔCO2 +47.89 → −7.21 kg
ΔPE +443.13 → −161.68 kWh

`property` is an FE-owned table the backend only ever reads — every row read
carries an id — so the autoincrement-PK `Optional[int]` idiom doesn't apply
here. Make it `int` and drop the now-redundant None guard in get_many.
(Contrast: solar_table keeps Optional id — the backend DOES insert those, so
id is genuinely None pre-flush.)

- `*_co2_emissions` → `*_co2_emissions_t_per_yr` (tonnes CO₂/yr, whole dwelling)
- `*_primary_energy_intensity` → `*_primary_energy_intensity_kwh_per_m2_yr`
Column names only; the domain `Performance` VO stays unit-suffix-free (units are
a storage concern, mapped in from_domain/to_domain). Migration doc updated.

Final slice of ADR-0012: collapse the per-property read round-trips a batch
made (Baseline hydrated ~8 queries x 30 properties one at a time) into a
handful of per-table IN queries.
- EpcPostgresRepository: extracted a shared `_compose(rows)` from `get` (the
windows + floor-dim fetches are now passed in, not fetched inline), so both
`get` and the new `get_for_properties(property_ids)` build EpcPropertyData
from pre-fetched rows. `get_for_properties` fetches each child table once
(`WHERE epc_property_id IN ...`), groups in memory, and composes — load-whole
per ADR-0002.
- PropertyRepository.get_many(property_ids) -> Properties: one query for the
property rows + one bulk EPC hydration, composed in input order.
- BaselineOrchestrator / IngestionOrchestrator read the batch via get_many
instead of N x get.
- Ports + fakes gain the bulk methods.
The #1129 round-trip fidelity test stays green (the compose extraction is
behaviour-preserving). New tests: bulk hydration correctness + round-trips are
constant w.r.t. batch size (one-per-table, proven by query count). 123 pass;

Replaces the handler's whole-pipeline Session (one transaction across all
three stages, connection pinned during Ingestion's external IO) with a
Unit-of-Work per stage (ADR-0012, added here). Each stage runs its batch in
one unit and commits once; any property raising aborts the batch and the
subtask fails noisily.
- BaselineOrchestrator(unit_of_work, rebaseliner): one unit for the batch,
commit once. Raise on a pre-SAP10 property leaves the unit uncommitted.
- IngestionOrchestrator(unit_of_work, epc_fetcher, geospatial_repo,
solar_fetcher): fetch/write split — phase 1 fetches the whole batch (EPC /
coords / solar) with NO unit open; phase 2 writes in one unit and commits.
The connection is never held during external IO. Geospatial S3 repo stays
injected (reference data, not transactional).
- Handler: module-scoped engine (pool reused across warm invocations) + a UoW
factory; whole-pipeline `with Session` gone. `build_first_run_pipeline`
composes on the factory. Source clients still behind the raising seam.
- ADR-0012 records the decision (per-stage boundary, all-or-nothing batch,
idempotent re-run, fetch/write split, module-scoped engine). Modelling stub
left untouched (no-op, no DB) per the ADR.
Tests: orchestrators on a shared FakeUnitOfWork (assert persisted batch +
exactly-once commit + no-commit-on-raise). New real-DB E2E integration test:
real PostgresUnitOfWork, Ingestion writes the EPC → Baseline reads it back
through the repo → re-run replaces, not duplicates (1 EPC row, 1 baseline row
after two runs). 121 pass in tests/; pyright strict clean; AAA.

Re-runs of a First Run batch re-save a property's data; that must replace,
not duplicate (ADR-0012 idempotent batch writes).
- `EpcPostgresRepository.save` deletes the property's existing EPC graph
(parent + all child tables, floor-dims via their building parts) before
inserting, when a `property_id` is given. Anonymous saves still insert.
- `BaselinePostgresRepository.save` deletes the existing row for the
`property_id` before inserting — no more unique-constraint violation on
re-save; also what the re-score-on-override path needs.
- Solar already upserts, so it's unchanged.
The #1129 round-trip fidelity test stays green (delete-first is a no-op on
a first save). 2 new tests (re-save replaces, not duplicates). pyright

First slice of the per-stage batch-transaction refactor (ADR-0012). A
UnitOfWork is the single transaction a stage runs its batch in: a context
manager exposing the DB repos bound to one session, committing once on
`commit()` and rolling back on exception or exit-without-commit
(all-or-nothing per batch, fail noisily).
- `UnitOfWork` (port): `property` / `epc` / `solar` / `baseline` repos +
`commit()` / `rollback()`; `__exit__` rolls back uncommitted work.
- `PostgresUnitOfWork(session_factory)`: opens a Session from an injected
factory (a module-scoped engine + sessionmaker in prod, so the pool is
reused across warm invocations), binds the Postgres repos to it, closes
on exit.
Not yet wired into any orchestrator — that lands in the Baseline /
Ingestion refactor slices. 3 tests against ephemeral PG (commit durable
across units; exception rolls back; no-commit persists nothing). pyright

Completes the First Run spine. Replaces the #1130 stub FirstRunPipeline
with the real three-stage composition and wires it into the handler.
- `FirstRunPipeline.run(command)` sequences Ingestion → Baseline →
Modelling, threading **only** `property_ids` between stages (and
`scenario_ids` into Modelling, off the command — never a prior stage's
output). Stages are injected behind thin `IngestionStage` /
`BaselineStage` / `ModellingStage` Protocols (the EpcFetcher/SolarFetcher
idiom), so the handler owns wiring and tests substitute fakes (ADR-0011).
- `ModellingOrchestrator` stub + `ScenarioRepository` / `MaterialsRepository`
seam ports — `run(property_ids, scenario_ids)` reads through repos, does
no scoring yet. Method shapes deferred to the Modelling per-service grills
(Scenario / Scenario Phase / Snapshot / Optimised Package / Plans are rich
— not pre-empted here).
- Handler delegates to the real pipeline via `build_first_run_pipeline`
(Postgres-backed repos off the session). The Ingestion source clients
(EPC API / Google Solar / geospatial S3) are isolated behind one
`_source_clients_from_env` seam that raises until the deploy/Terraform
config settles — out of scope for this slice. Subtask complete/failed +
CloudWatch URL still come from `@subtask_handler`.
Integration test (the criterion's centrepiece): wires REAL Ingestion +
REAL Baseline + stub Modelling through a shared fake EPC repo, with a
repo-backed PropertyRepo composing the Property from that slice. Proves
Baseline reads the very EPC Ingestion persisted — the through-repos
hand-off, no in-memory coupling. Plus a composition test pinning stage
order + only-property_ids threading.

Stage 2 of First Run. Establishes each Property's Baseline Performance
from persisted source data and writes it back — reads only from repos,
never a Fetcher or HTTP (ADR-0003), so it is byte-identical whether
Ingestion ran milliseconds ago or last week.
Domain (`domain/baseline/`):
- `Performance` VO — the four rated quantities: SAP / EPC Band / CO2 /
Primary Energy Intensity. `lodged_performance(epc)` reads them off the
EPC's recorded fields (PEUI = `energy_consumption_current`).
- `BaselinePerformance` (ADR-0004) — the paired `lodged` + `effective`
Performance + `rebaseline_reason`, plus the no-derivation part of the
energy block (`space_heating_kwh` / `water_heating_kwh`, off the RHI,
deterministic per ADR-0006). Both halves always populated.
- `Rebaseliner` port + `StubRebaseliner`: the re-score-on-override seam
(ADR-0011). SAP10 certs pass through (effective == lodged, reason
"none"); a pre-SAP10 cert raises `RebaselineNotImplemented` rather
than fabricating a plausible-but-wrong "none" — ML rebaselining is not
wired yet. Mirrors the repo's strict-raise culture.
Persistence: new `BaselineRepository` port + `BaselinePostgresRepository`
+ flat-column `baseline_performance` SQLModel (one row per Property). Per
ADR-0004's amendment this is a standalone table, NOT columns on the
retiring `property_details_epc`. Production migration is FE-owned
(Drizzle) — docs/migrations/baseline-performance-table.md.
Docs (grill-with-docs): corrected CONTEXT.md Lodged/Effective Performance

under "heat demand") + fixed stale RHI field names; amended ADR-0004
Consequences for the standalone-table decision.
Fuel split + bills (rest of EPC Energy Derivation) deferred to a
follow-up — they need a Fuel Rates source (Ofgem-cap ETL) that does not
exist yet.

Stage-2 entry point for the First Run use case. Adds the
`ara_first_run` Lambda package mirroring the `postcode_splitter`
template, its typed trigger contract, and a stub `FirstRunPipeline`.
- `AraFirstRunTriggerBody`: thin command of five fields — `task_id`,
`sub_task_id` (UUID, lifecycle), `portfolio_id`, `property_ids`,
`scenario_ids` (int business IDs). No `model_config` override, so
Pydantic's default `extra="ignore"` lets the FastAPI backend add
fields without breaking deployed lambdas. UPRNs / Scenario defs are
deliberately off the event — read from source-of-truth tables.
- Thin `handler.py`: validate-and-delegate only, via a named
`dispatch_first_run` seam (testable without the Lambda runtime).
Subtask status (in-progress/complete/failed) + CloudWatch log URL
come for free from the existing `@subtask_handler()` decorator.
- `FirstRunPipeline` (orchestration/) stub: `run(command)` receives the
validated command. Declares a structural `FirstRunCommand` Protocol
(the three business fields) that `AraFirstRunTriggerBody` satisfies,
so orchestration needs no application-layer import — rhymes with the
`EpcFetcher`/`SolarFetcher` Protocols on IngestionOrchestrator
(ADR-0011). Full Ingestion→Baseline→Modelling composition lands in
#1136.

Stage 1 of the pipeline: per property, read its UPRN from the property row,
fetch its EPC, resolve coordinates from the Geospatial reference repo, thread
those into the Solar fetcher, and persist EPC + solar via repos. Fetchers never
call each other — the orchestrator threads the coordinate (ADR-0011). Coordinates
are reference data (deterministic from UPRN), resolved transiently to drive the
solar fetch rather than persisted per-property.
Depends on thin EpcFetcher/SolarFetcher Protocols (EpcClientService and
GoogleSolarApiClient satisfy them structurally). Unit-tested against fakes — no
DB, gov API, or network: persists EPC, threads coords into solar, skips
UPRN-less properties and skips solar when coordinates are absent. pyright clean.

2. The schema was a partial projection. Closed the cheap gaps on the model

addendum, mechanical_vent_duct_insulation_level, SAP 10.2 §2 ventilation
fields + a ventilation_present flag). Structural gaps tracked as follow-ups;

SAP 10.2 Table 4a (PDF p.163-164) heat-pump rows split efficiency into
two columns — "space" and "water":
Code System space water
211 Ground source HP with flow temp <= 35°C 230 170
213 Water source HP with flow temp <= 35°C 230 170
215 Gas-fired GSHP with flow temp <= 35°C 120 84
216 Gas-fired WSHP with flow temp <= 35°C 120 84
217 Gas-fired ASHP with flow temp <= 35°C 110 77
521 Warm-air electric GSHP 230 170
523 Warm-air electric WSHP 230 170
525 Warm-air gas-fired GSHP 120 84
526 Warm-air gas-fired WSHP 120 84
527 Warm-air gas-fired ASHP 110 77
The split reflects real physics: heat pumps lose efficiency raising
water to ~55°C DHW temperatures vs ~35°C space-heating flow. ASHP
"in other cases" (codes 214, 221, 223, 224) and the "other cases"
gas-fired rows (225-227) have space == water = 170 / 84 / 77 — no
distinct DHW column.
Pre-slice the cascade routed WHC ∈ {901, 902, 914} ("HW from main
heating") through `seasonal_efficiency(main_code)`, which only consults
the Space column. For SAP code 211 the cascade returned 2.30 (= space)
when the spec requires 1.70 (= water). HW fuel kWh undercounted by
26% on the heating-systems corpus gshp variant: cascade 841.47 kWh vs
worksheet 1138.46 kWh.
New `_TABLE_4A_HEAT_PUMP_WATER_EFFICIENCY` dict (10 codes where Space
≠ Water) consulted in `_water_efficiency_with_category_inherit` before
falling through to the existing `seasonal_efficiency` path. Codes
where Space == Water keep the legacy inheritance — no behaviour
change. Non-HP main heating (boilers, storage heaters) likewise
unchanged.
Closures (gshp variant — SAP code 211 + WHC=901 + cylinder):
HW fuel kWh: 841.47 → 1138.45 (matches worksheet 1138.46)
ΔSAP_c: +0.9373 → -0.0178
Δcost: -£21.60 → +£0.41
ΔCO2: -34.98 → +7.06 kg/yr
ΔPE: -418.92 → +33.52 kWh/yr
No regressions on 40 other corpus variants — gshp is the only fixture
that lodges a heat-pump code with diverging Space/Water columns.
Cohort-1 ASHP closure (S0380.28 reciprocal interpolation) is unaffected
because that path runs through `heat_pump_record` PCDB Appendix N3
when a PCDB Table 362 record is lodged; this fix is the Table 4a
fallback for cases without a PCDB record.

SAP 10.2 §12.4.4 (PDF p.36-37):
"Independent boilers that provide domestic hot water usually do so
throughout the year. With open fire back boilers or closed room
heaters with boilers, an alternative system (electric immersion)
may be provided for heating water in summer. In that case water
heating is provided by the boiler for months October to May and by
the alternative system for months June to September."
Scope is verbatim Table 4a codes 156 (Open fire with back boiler to
radiators) and 158 (Closed room heater with boiler to radiators). Range
cooker boilers (160, 161), pellet stoves with boilers (159), and
independent solid-fuel boilers (151, 153, 155) are NOT covered.
Pre-slice, the cascade treated the back-boiler cohort identically to
year-round solid-fuel mains: (59)m primary loss applied Jun-Sep, HW
fuel kWh was billed entirely at the boiler's solid-fuel rate, the HW
CO2 / PE factors used the boiler fuel's annual factor, and the off-peak
electric standing charge (£40 for 18-hour tariff) was not added because
the cert's lodged water-heating fuel code was anthracite.
Implementation (4 wired pieces):
1. `_section_12_4_4_summer_immersion_applies(epc, main)` — predicate
gate keyed on back-boiler SAP code (156, 158) + WHC ∈ {901, 902, 914}
"HW from main heating" + cylinder present.
2. `_primary_loss_override` zeroes (59)m for Jun-Sep when the predicate
fires — matches the Elmhurst P960 worksheet which has (59) Jun-Sep =
0 for SF2 (vs ~42 kWh/month for SF3 range cooker).
3. `_section_12_4_4_hw_blend(...)` — returns the 5-tuple
(annual_hw_fuel_kwh, blended_cost_gbp_per_kwh, blended_co2_factor,
blended_pe_factor, extra_standing_charge_gbp). The blend is kWh-
weighted across:
- Winter Oct-May: boiler fuel at the boiler's Table 32 unit price /
Table 12 annual CO2 / Table 12 annual PE factor
- Summer Jun-Sep: standard electricity (Table 12d/12e monthly
factors weighted by summer (62)m demand) priced at the tariff's
off-peak low rate per Table 13 note 2 (the 6.8 - 0.036V × N -
0.105V dual-immersion formula clamps to zero high-rate for
normal V/N combos on tariffs with ≥18 hrs low rate; SF2 has
V=110, N≈2 → 100% low-rate)
- The Table 32 off-peak electric standing charge that fires when
hot water uses off-peak electricity per Table 12 note (a). For

SAP 10.2 Table 3 (PDF p.160) provides three primary-loss rows keyed off
the DHW timing arrangement, the middle row giving winter h=5 / summer
h=3 for "Cylinder thermostat, water heating NOT separately timed".
Solid-fuel boiler systems (Table 4a codes 151-161 — independent boilers,
open-fire + back boilers, closed room heaters with boilers, range cooker
boilers, stoves with boilers) do not ship with dual programmers. Per
SAP 10.2 §9.2.4 (PDF p.27) these are "independent solid fuel boilers,
open fires with a back boiler and room heaters with a boiler" — the
appliance itself is the timer. DHW timing follows the burn schedule,
not a separate cylinder programmer, so the middle Table 3 row applies.
Pre-slice `_separately_timed_dhw` returned True for any cylinder +
non-electric HW fuel cert (the S0380.140 gate), routing solid-fuel
boilers through h=3 year-round (the third row, "Cylinder thermostat,
water heating separately timed"). That under-counted winter (59)m
by ~21 kWh/month × 8 winter months across the affected cohort, with
the under-counted water-heating gain propagating into MIT / SH / SAP.
New gate: `sap_main_heating_code in _TABLE_4A_SOLID_FUEL_BOILER_CODES`
(frozenset of {151, 153, 155, 156, 158, 159, 160, 161}) — added before
the existing cylinder-present fallback. The post-S0380.140 electric-
immersion / heat-pump / no-main branches are unchanged. Table 4b
liquid-fuel boilers (101-141) keep the True default — modern gas/oil
installations standardly include dual programmers and the worksheet
confirms `oil 1` / `oil pcdb 1..3` / `pcdb 1` are pinned exact at
h=3 year-round.
Worksheet evidence (heating-systems corpus property 001431):
- solid fuel 3 (SAP code 160 range cooker boiler + WHC=901
cylinder thermostat): worksheet (59)m winter = 64.58 (h=5, p=0)
and summer = 41.92 / 43.31 (h=3, p=0). Cascade closes ΔSAP +0.30
→ −0.0000, Δcost −£6.84 → −0.00, ΔPE −214 → −0.00 (4-metric exact).
- solid fuel 2 (SAP code 158 closed room heater + back boiler):
same Table 3 fix narrows ΔSAP +2.06 → +1.86. Remaining ~1.86 SAP
is the SAP 10.2 §12.4.4 immersion-in-summer rule for back-boilers
(codes 156, 158) — the worksheet has summer (59)m = 0 because the
Elmhurst P960 lodges `Summer Immersion: Yes` + the spec routes
Jun-Sep HW through an electric immersion at η=100%. That's a
bigger lift (monthly HW efficiency + fuel-split plumbing) and is
a follow-up slice.
Other corpus variants: no impact (verified via cohort sweep). The
gate is narrow by SAP code so only the 2 affected variants move.
Extended handover suite: 897 pass / 0 fail (+1 from new AAA test).
Pyright net-zero (43 → 43, transient +1 fixed via `EpcPropertyData`

SAP 10.2 Table 3 (PDF p.160) "Primary circuit loss" verbatim:
"Primary circuit loss applies when hot water is heated by a heat
generator (e.g. boiler) connected to a hot water storage vessel
via insulated or uninsulated pipes (the primary pipework)."
The spec rule does NOT restrict to Table 4b gas/oil boilers — any
boiler connected to a cylinder via primary pipework incurs the loss.
The cert's `water_heating_code` is the discriminator:
- WHC=901/902/914 (HW from main heating system) + wet boiler +
cylinder → primary loss applies (back-boiler / wet boiler heats
cylinder via primary loop).
- WHC=903 (HW from a separate electric immersion / secondary) → no
primary loss even when the main is a wet boiler.
Pre-slice `_primary_loss_applies` only covered Table 4b gas/oil boiler
codes (101-141). Table 4a solid-fuel boiler codes 151-161 (manual /
auto / range-cooker boilers, closed room heater + back-boiler, open
fire + back-boiler, wood pellet + back-boiler) fell through and
primary loss silently went to zero — under-counting §5 (72) water-
heating internal gain by ~74 W cohort-wide for every WHC=901 solid-
fuel back-boiler variant.
Worksheet evidence on the 001431 corpus (all age G, same cylinder):
- solid fuel 2 (code 158, WHC=901): ws (59) ≈ 505 kWh/yr → apply
- solid fuel 3 (code 160, WHC=901): ws (59) ≈ 643 kWh/yr → apply
- solid fuel 5 (code 153, WHC=903): ws (59) = 0 → skip
- solid fuel 4..11 (633/636 non-boilers, WHC=903): skip
The fix:
- `_primary_loss_applies(...)` gains a `water_heating_code: Optional[int]`
parameter (default None for back-compat with synthetic tests).
- New branch after the Table 4b fallback: `_is_wet_boiler_main(main)`
+ `water_heating_code in _WATER_INHERIT_FROM_MAIN_CODES` → True.
- Call site `_primary_loss_override` passes
`epc.sap_heating.water_heating_code`.
Heating-systems corpus impact:
- solid fuel 3 (code 160, WHC=901): +1.31 → +0.30 SAP
PE -918.6 → -214.3 kWh/yr
- solid fuel 2 (code 158, WHC=901): +2.77 → +2.06 SAP
PE -1241.7 → -754.1 kWh/yr
- All other variants: unchanged
SF2 doesn't fully close because the worksheet's (59) is winter-only
(0 in summer) but the cascade applies the year-round Table 3 formula
via `_separately_timed_dhw=True` (cylinder + non-electric HW fuel).
Remaining residual is a follow-up — likely a
`_separately_timed_dhw=False` rule for solid-fuel back-boilers (HW
timing tied to the room fire, not separately programmed).

RdSAP 10 Specification §4.1 Table 5 "Ventilation parameters" (PDF p.28)

• Number of extract fans if known
• If number is unknown:
Not park home:
Age bands A to E all cases → 0
Age bands F to G all cases → 1
Age bands H to M up to 2 hab. rooms → 1
3 to 5 hab. rooms → 2
6 to 8 hab. rooms → 3
more than 8 hab. rooms → 4
Park home:
Age band F all cases → 0
Age bands G onwards all cases → 2
The Elmhurst Summary §12.0 renders "No. of intermittent extract fans: 0"
as the form for *unknown*; every other §2 chimney/flue line item follows
"number if known, or 0 if not present" and the cascade trusts the lodged
value verbatim. Only extract fans have a non-zero age-band default.
Pre-slice the cascade read the lodged 0 verbatim → cohort-wide -0.044
ACH ventilation deficit (= -2.6 W/K HLC, = -1.2% SH demand, = ~-0.3 SAP
per variant). All 25 cascade-OK corpus variants are age G + 4 habitable
rooms + not park home → Table 5 default = 1 fan.
New helper `_rdsap_extract_fans_default(age_band, habitable_rooms, *,
is_park_home)` + wiring in `ventilation_from_cert` applies
`max(lodged, table_5_default)` so the spec minimum fires when lodging
is below it.

SAP 10.2 §12 (PDF p.45 lines 2280-2283):
"The 18-hour tariff is only for use with electric CPSUs with
sufficient energy storage to provide space (and possibly water)
heating requirements for 2 hours. Electricity at the low-rate price
is available for 18 hours per day, with interruptions totalling 6
hours per day, with the proviso that no interruption will exceed 2
hours. The low-rate price applies to space and water heating, while
electricity for all other purposes is at the high-rate price."
SAP 10.2 Appendix F2 (PDF p.63 lines 3809-3812):
"F2 Electric CPSUs using 18-hour electricity tariff. The 18-hour
low rate applies to all space heating and water heating provided
by the CPSU. The CPSU must have sufficient energy stored to provide
heating during a 2-hour shut-off period. The 18-hour high rate
applies to all other electricity uses."
Table 12a Grid 2 omits 18-hour / 24-hour from its 7-hour / 10-hour
table; pre-slice the cascade's `_other_fuel_cost_gbp_per_kwh` fell
through Grid 2's `NotImplementedError` to
`prices.standard_electricity_p_per_kwh` (Table 32 code 30 = 13.19
p/kWh). Per §12 + Appendix F2 the 18-hour rule is explicit fraction =
1.0 at the high rate — pumps, fans, and lighting bill at the 18-hour
high rate (Table 32 code 38 = 13.67 p/kWh).
All 41 heating-systems corpus variants lodge `meter_type='18 Hour'`,
so this gap was cohort-wide. Pre-slice the cascade undercounted
pumps + lighting cost by (13.67 − 13.19) × kWh on every variant:

The liquid-fuel sibling row was missing — oil 1 worksheet (230d) and
oil pcdb 3 worksheet (230d) both lodge 100 kWh/yr "oil boiler pump"
that the cascade was silently skipping.
Implementation:
- Add `_LIQUID_FUEL_CODES = frozenset({4, 71, 73, 75, 76})` and new
`is_liquid_fuel_code(fuel_code)` helper in
`domain/sap10_calculator/tables/table_32.py`. Mirror of
`is_electric_fuel_code` — routes through `_to_table_32_code`
normalisation so Elmhurst-derived Table 32 codes (e.g. code 23
= bulk wood pellets, solid) don't collide with API enum codes
(where 23 = B30D community).
- Extend `_table_4f_additive_components` to add 100 kWh for Main 1
when `is_liquid_fuel_code(main.main_fuel_type)` returns True
(`isinstance(int)` guard for the `Union[int, str]` field). Mirror
the same gate for Main 2 per Note c) "Where there are two main
heating systems include two figures".
- LPG is GAS (Table 4b/4f convention, Ecodesign classification) —
`_LIQUID_FUEL_CODES` deliberately excludes 2/3/5/9 LPG codes.

SAP 10.2 Appendix D §D2.1 (2) Equation (D1) (PDF p.57):
If the boiler provides both space and water heating, and the summer
seasonal efficiency is lower than the winter seasonal efficiency,
the efficiency is a combination of winter and summer seasonal
efficiencies according to the relative proportion of heat needed
from the boiler for space and water heating in the month concerned:
Q_space + Q_water
η_water,m = ───────────────────────────────
Q_space/η_winter + Q_water/η_summer
where Q_space (kWh/month) is the quantity calculated at (98c)m
multiplied by (204) or by (205);
Q_water (kWh/month) is the quantity calculated at (64)m;
η_winter and η_summer are the winter and summer seasonal
efficiencies (from Table 4b).
Pre-slice the cascade only wired Eq D1 for PCDB-tested boilers (the
`pcdb_record` branch in `_apply_water_efficiency`). For non-PCDB
Table 4b boilers (`sap_main_heating_code` 101-141) where the cert
lodges no `main_heating_index_number`, the cascade fell through to
the scalar `water_efficiency_pct` divisor — which resolved via WHC
901 inherit to Table 4b WINTER eff (wrong direction; spec wants the
monthly Eq D1 blend).
This slice:
- Adds `domain/sap10_calculator/tables/table_4b.py` with the full
41-row Table 4b (winter, summer) pair dict for codes 101-141
verbatim from SAP 10.2 PDF p.168 (Table 4b).
- Refactors `_apply_water_efficiency` parameter from
`pcdb_record: Optional[GasOilBoilerRecord]` to
`eq_d1_winter_summer_pct: Optional[tuple[float, float]]` —
decouples the Eq D1 input from the PCDB record so a Table 4b
fallback can populate it without faking a PCDB record.
- Resolves Eq D1 inputs at the call site with priority order:
1. PCDB Table 105 winter/summer (existing path)
2. SAP 10.2 Table 4b (PDF p.168) winter/summer when PCDB
absent + WHC=901 (`_WHC_FROM_MAIN_HEATING`, the spec form
of "boiler provides both space and water heating").
§9.4.11 -5pp interlock applies symmetrically to both columns of
whichever (winter, summer) tuple is resolved.
Oil 1 cert worksheet (217)m verified Jan 81.83 / Apr 81.42 / May
79.94 / Jun-Sep 72.00 / Dec 81.86 — exact back-solve to Eq D1 with

Σ (64)m × 100 / (217)m = 3638.99 kWh/yr ≡ cascade post-slice.

CO2 -129.22 → -55.36 (Δ +73.86 kg/yr)
PE -590.02 → -275.52 (Δ +314.50 kWh/yr)
Remaining oil 1 residual is Table 4f auxiliary energy (cascade
pumps_fans 130 kWh vs worksheet 265 kWh — missing the oil-boiler
pump 100 kWh + CH pump 130 vs ws 165). Follow-up slice.
Golden fixtures (cert-pinned, integer-rounded PE):
cert 0240 (dual oil combi 130, no cylinder): PE +0.05 → +1.02
cert 6035 (gas combi 104, no cylinder): PE +46.10 → +47.29
Both shifts reflect spec-correct Eq D1 now firing for non-PCDB
combi-no-cylinder configs. The pre-slice near-zero pin on cert
0240 was masking offsetting cascade gaps (likely Table 4f
auxiliary energy and/or dual-main Q_space split per (98c)m ×
(204) which the cascade currently treats as full demand).
Following [[reference-unmapped-sap-code]] discipline, the new Table
4b dict is the canonical spec-source — `domain.sap10_ml.sap_
efficiencies._SPACE_EFF_BY_CODE` still carries the winter column for
the ML feature cascade and is left in place per the sap10_ml
deprecation plan (separate migration).

SAP 10.2 Table 3 (PDF p.160) "Primary circuit loss":
"Primary circuit loss applies when hot water is heated by a heat
generator (e.g. boiler) connected to a hot water storage vessel via
insulated or uninsulated pipes (the primary pipework). Primary loss
is set to zero for the following:
Electric immersion heater
Combi boiler ...
CPSU ..."
A Table 4b regular (non-combi, non-CPSU) gas or liquid-fuel boiler
feeding a cylinder is in neither zero-loss list, so primary loss must
apply. Pre-slice the Elmhurst-path fallback in `_primary_loss_applies`
only covered PCDB Table 322 records (S0380.142) — when the cert lodges
a Table 4b code (e.g. oil 1 sap_main_heating_code 127 "Condensing oil

primary loss silently fell through to zero.
This slice extends the Elmhurst-path fallback in `_primary_loss_applies`
to fire when `sap_main_heating_code` is in the Table 4b code range
(101-141) and NOT in the combi/CPSU sub-row exclusion set per Table 3:

sum = 365 × 1.3972 ≈ 510 kWh/yr — matches the worksheet's (59) annual.
Cascade impact on heating-systems corpus:

Only the oil 1 variant moves — every other cascade-OK variant either
already routes primary loss via the PCDB Table 322 branch (oil pcdb 1/
