On the gov-EPC API path a window's metal frame was unrepresentable: both
transmission tables were frameless (U_pvc, g, 0.70), so a cert lodging a metal
frame (pvc_frame:"false", RdSAP input 6-5) was billed at the PVC/wooden U and
frame factor 0.70 — over-rating metal-framed dwellings.
Add the RdSAP 10 Table 24 metal U-column (PDF p.50-51; mirrors u_window's metal
values) and a pvc_frame dimension to _api_glazing_transmission: an explicit
"false" routes the window to the metal U + SAP 10.2 Table 6c frame factor 0.8;
"true"/None/other keep the PVC column + 0.70, so no PVC cert regresses.
Secondary glazing keeps its frame-independent U (only FF changes). Wired into
_api_sap_window and _api_sap_roof_window (both full-schema, lodge pvc_frame);
the reduced-field path has no pvc_frame and is unchanged.
Spec: RdSAP 10 Table 24 metal column, SAP 10.2 Table 6c, RdSAP input 6-5 (p.80).

The gov-EPC API lodges a two-main dwelling's main_heating_fraction pair in
two incompatible encodings — a decimal fraction summing to ~1.0 ([0.8, 0.2])
or an integer percent summing to ~100 ([80, 20]) — while every consumer
divides by 100 unconditionally. A decimal pair therefore collapsed the second
main's share to ~1% of its true value, billing almost the whole load to the
first system's fuel/efficiency.
Normalise once at the mapper via a shared pair-sum discriminator
(_normalised_main_heating_fraction): a genuine two-main split summing nearer
1.0 than 100 is scaled to percent; a percent pair and any single main are left
exactly as lodged, so the 3 percent-encoded corpus certs do not regress. Wired
across the seven from_rdsap_schema_* branches and the SAP-17.1 path, whose old
int(fraction) floor silently deleted a decimal-lodged second main (int(0.35)=0).
Spec: RdSAP 10 item 7-5 (percent is canonical), p.81. Corpus: within-0.5

RdSAP 10 item 2-3(h) "another dwelling above" is U=0 (spec p.45: "There is no
heat loss through the roof of a building part that has the same dwelling above
or another dwelling above"). gov-API `roof_construction = 3` is that code, but
the mapper labelled it "Pitched (slates/tiles), no access to loft" (which is
code 5), so the per-part party override at heat_transmission.py:1172 never
matched and the part fell through to the dwelling_type-label-only
has_exposed_roof heuristic.
190 of the 200 corpus code-3 parts sit at index 0 and are already suppressed by
`_cert_lodges_exposed_roof` off the roof_insulation_location == "ND" signal. The
unmitigated set is the 10 parts at index > 0, where extensions default to
exposed and were billed a phantom pitched roof. Also removes a latent PV defect:
the bogus "Pitched" prefix satisfied `is_pitched` and divided PV array area by
cos(35 deg), inflating kWp.
Shipped with the stairwell fix so the corpus pin moves once: within-0.5
78.8% -> 79.6%, SAP MAE 0.626 -> 0.611, PE MAE 2.9 -> 2.7.
The roof change alone trades 4 certs out of the +-0.5 band for 2 in (one moving
4.4 SAP closer). Those 4 were investigated and are NOT a masked bug: the corpus
error distribution is symmetric (mean +0.076, median +0.03, sigma 1.606; 112
certs above +0.5 vs 102 below), ground-floor flats show 7 positive / 8 negative
with no excess over the null, and closing them needs HLC changes of 2.3-5.6% —
below the ~8.8% noise floor of the RHI anchor, calibrated on the 76 certs whose
SAP is exact (space-heating ratio 1.062 +/- 0.088).

RdSAP 10 §5.9 "U-values of sheltered walls" (PDF p.43): a wall between a
flat/maisonette and an unheated buffer takes SAP 10.2 §3.3's U = 1/(1/U0 + Ru),
and Ru depends on the BUFFER TYPE — "Use Ru = 0.5 m²K/W for corridors and
Ru = 2.1 m²K/W for stairwell."
The buffer type is lodged on `SapFlatDetails.heat_loss_corridor` (0-based per
item 1-11, PDF p.70: 0 none, 1 heated, 2 unheated corridor, 3 unheated
stairwell). That field was read NOWHERE under domain/ — corridor presence was
inferred only from a lodged sheltered alternative wall — so every sheltered wall
took the corridor 0.5 and every stairwell flat over-billed its sheltered wall,
under-rating the dwelling.
Distinct from `_SHELTERED_GABLE_ADDED_RESISTANCE_M2K_W`, which is RdSAP 10
Table 4 (p.22) for a room-in-roof sheltered gable — same 0.5, different rule,
deliberately untouched.
Corpus gauge ratcheted UP: within-0.5 78.8% -> 79.8% (+10 certs), SAP MAE
0.626 -> 0.613, PE MAE 2.9 -> 2.8. Failure set and pyright count identical to
main. Portfolio 824 is stairwell-heavy (60 properties at code 3); property
749898 over-bills 4.44 W/K on a 48 m2 flat.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
RdSAP 10 §3.12 (PDF p.26), the flats/maisonettes floor rules: "There is no heat
loss through the floor if there is another flat below. Otherwise the floor area
of the flat ... is ... a semi-exposed floor if there are unheated premises below
it (e.g. an enclosed garage) ... Semi-exposed (sheltered) floors are treated as
if they were fully exposed." §5.13 (p.48) confirms the U-value identity: Table 20
applies to exposed and semi-exposed alike.
API floor_heat_loss=2 -> floor_type "To unheated space" set no exposure signal,
so on a mid-/top-floor flat the dwelling-level heuristic (has_exposed_floor=False,
assuming a heated dwelling below) went unopposed and the ENTIRE floor was billed
at 0 W/K. 11 properties across portfolios 796+824, mean +4.02 SAP, 10 of 11
over-rating — we judged dwellings more efficient than the accredited assessment
and would withhold retrofit measures they need.
Exemplars: 750018 space heating -53.2% -> -8.1% vs the cert's own RHI figure,
SAP +8.22 -> +1.16; 749898 -43.0% -> +0.9%, SAP +6.29 -> -1.11.
SCOPED TO FLATS ON PURPOSE. §3.12 is the flats/maisonettes section, and the
accredited Elmhurst worksheet disagrees with Table 20 for a house: golden cert
7536-3827-0600-0600-0276 (detached) lodges floor_heat_loss=2 on its Main part and
the worksheet bills it on the BS EN ISO 13370 ground-floor cascade at U 0.97, not
Table 20's 1.20. An unscoped mapper-level fix broke that pin and the
uprn_100050881708 accuracy pin; the scoped fix leaves both untouched.
No regressions: identical failure set and pyright count vs main; the RdSAP-21.0.1
accuracy corpus gauge is unchanged at 78.8% within-0.5 / MAE 0.625 (correctly —
all 7 corpus certs lodging code 2 are houses).

RdSAP 10 §5.17 / Table 23. `wall_is_basement` is not a lodged U-value — it is a
disambiguation flag selecting WHICH RdSAP default applies, so unlike
wall/roof/floor_u_value it must survive the round-trip.
Code 6 is canonically SYSTEM-BUILT and the gov-API path infers "basement" from a
code-6 heuristic; the Elmhurst site-notes mapper sets wall_is_basement=False
precisely to defeat it. Dropping the field inverted the answer — a system-built
wall came back as a basement wall, dragging the whole ground floor onto the
Table 23 basement-floor U-value via `has_basement`.
Declared on no RdSAP schema, so it never arrives via the gov API; the earlier
corpus scan showing 0 occurrences measured the wrong population. The Elmhurst
site-notes path sets it and those EPCs are persisted
(scripts/wchg_elmhurst_ingest.py).
Nullable is load-bearing: None = "not stated, use the heuristic", False =
"explicitly system-built, do not".

Add `rafter_insulation_thickness` to `EpcBuildingPartModel` (JSONB, matching the
sibling thickness columns so Union[str, int] survives) and wire it through
`from_domain` / `_to_building_part`.
Property 749719 lodges "250mm" -> Table 16 col (2) U 0.23. Dropped, the roof
billed at U 2.30 — a 10x error worth -9.8 SAP (lodged 73, calculated 63.2) that
moved the dwelling a whole band, C -> D, and drew a 9.63-point loft-insulation
recommendation on a roof rated 4/5 by the assessor.
The sibling wall/roof/floor_u_value and wall_is_basement fields have the same
drop but are deliberately NOT persisted: they are full-SAP artefacts and we
re-model as RdSAP, which uses default U-values. Their allow-list entries are
re-justified rather than removed — the previous "not read by the calculator" was
stale and is what hid this drop.
Requires the Drizzle migration in Hestia-Homes/assessment-model to land FIRST;
without the column, EPC reads fail outright.

RdSAP 10 §5.11.2 — a roof insulated at rafters lodges its thickness in
`rafter_insulation_thickness`, not `roof_insulation_thickness`. The field had no
DB column, so it was mapped from the gov-EPC API and silently dropped on save;
every at-rafters roof then fell back to the Table 18 col (2) unknown-thickness
default (2.30 W/m²K for bands A-D — the spec's *uninsulated* value).

0390's floor+ASHP package reaches post 68.772, which publishes as 69 = band C,
so under ADR-0064 it now meets the goal and stops before low-energy lighting —
the same over-purchase the ADR removes, one level up at the package. 0380 fires
the same three measures with identical trigger attributes, so every assertion
stands unchanged, and it lands at post 74.4, clear of a band floor.

The modelling_e2e handler models one property per run_modelling call, so a
per-property "no persisted baseline" line would be one per property across a
whole re-model. The harness has no Baseline stage by design and cannot drift
from one, so it now establishes its own the way the Baseline orchestrator
would; the Postgres-backed lane is where the assertion has something to catch.

The deal's third_party_surveyor_identifier is now required by the log

A mid-terrace / enclosed-mid-terrace (built_form 4/6) has external walls on
its two opposite (front/rear) faces only (RdSAP 10 §1.1, p.7-8); both end/
gable elevations — and their room-in-roof continuations — abut a neighbour
and are party walls (§1.4.3, p.9). The gov-API path is built_form-blind, so a
cert lodging an "Exposed" RR gable (`gable_wall_type=1`) on such a form had it
billed at the masonry main-wall U (~2.5) instead of the party 0.25 (Table 4,
p.22), over-counting fabric heat loss and under-rating the dwelling.
`_api_type_1_gable_kind` now takes `built_form` and reclassifies an Exposed RR
gable to Party on the both-ends-party forms {4, 6} only; end-terrace {3, 5},
semi {2} and detached {1} keep their genuine exposed gable. The API path lodges
no per-gable U, so this only ever overrides a cascade fallback.
Corroborated three ways: RdSAP §1.1 + Table 4; S10TP-05 Appendix A (a
mid-terrace's roof-gable junction length is zero); and three accredited
Elmhurst mid-terrace worksheets (000477/000480/000516), which all lodge Party
gables. Those worksheets run the site-notes path (already correct) so the 195
Elmhurst pins are untouched.
Corpus (RdSAP-21.0.1, 1000 certs): within-0.5 78.8% -> 79.5%, SAP MAE
0.625 -> 0.599, PE MAE 2.85 -> 2.71, CO2 MAE 0.070 -> 0.068. Cert

-1.94 -> +0.11; end-terrace/semi/detached untouched. Thresholds ratcheted.
Tests: new test_mapper_rir_gable_terraced (9); 195 Elmhurst pins, 288

* Electric-immersion DHW: bill at 100%, not the space boiler's efficiency 🟩
A separate electric immersion heater (SAP water-heating code 903) is 100%
efficient (SAP 10.2 Table 4a) and the space-heating boiler provides no water
heating, so Appendix D2.1 Eq D1 (the boiler seasonal-efficiency cascade) must
not apply to it. But `_water_heating_main` resolves DHW to the SPACE main — a
gas/oil boiler keeps its PCDB record — so three water-efficiency branches in
cert_to_inputs billed the immersion-heated cylinder at the boiler's ~87% summer
efficiency (a mongrel: electric fuel price x gas-boiler efficiency):
1. the scalar `water_eff = water_pcdb_main.summer_efficiency_pct / 100`,
2. the SAP §9.4.11 / Table 4c(2) -5pp no-interlock adjustment, and
3. the Eq D1 (winter, summer) seasonal pair from `pcdb_main`.
Gate all three on `not dhw_is_electric_immersion`; the correct immersion path
(`_water_efficiency_with_category_inherit` -> 1.0, Eq D1 off) then applies,
mirroring the Table 3 zero-primary-loss gate already present for WHC 903.
General bug — fires for any WHC-903 dwelling whose space main is a PCDB gas/oil
boiler. It surfaced via the PasHub campaign's #1600 no-water-heating default
(WHC 999 -> 903) on a gas-combi dwelling: 58 Hackle St M11 4WU, SAP 55.30 ->
57.67 (pre_sap 58, verified 59).
Guardrails: the gov-API RdSAP corpus IMPROVES 78.8% -> 78.9% within-0.5, MAE
0.625 -> 0.622 (a handful of corpus certs with a boiler space main + electric
immersion move closer to accredited) — MAE ceiling ratcheted 0.626 -> 0.625.
Regression pinned in test_cert_to_inputs (RED before / GREEN after). pyright
0-new (cert_to_inputs baseline 30).

* PasHub SAP accuracy: thread low-energy lights + draught lobby (from_site_notes) 🟩
Two systematic silent-drops in the PAS Hub `from_site_notes` path, each a field
the gov-API/Elmhurst mappers thread but site-notes dropped, letting a favourable
default reach the SAP-10.2 calculator. Validated against the correct pashub
oracle (property_baseline_performance.effective_sap_score, portfolio 838):
cohort within-0.5 55.1% → 62.6%, MAE 0.599 → 0.521.
- Low-energy lights: when "exact LED/CFL known = No", PAS Hub lodges an aggregate
"Number of fixed low energy lights?" count. Previously dropped (no dataclass
field / extractor key / mapper thread) → calculator saw 0 low-energy bulbs and
applied the pessimistic L5b/L8c no-data default, under-rating SAP. Now threaded
into low_energy_fixed_lighting_bulbs_count, mirroring from_elmhurst_site_notes.
~6% of the cohort; resolves 58 Hackle (−0.43 vs oracle 59 with #1615).
- Draught lobby: _map_sap_ventilation set only the legacy `draught_lobby` field,
never the canonical `has_draught_lobby` §2 (13) gate the cascade reads, so the
surveyed lobby was ignored and infiltration over-stated. Now mirrors Elmhurst.
Two other audited levers were REJECTED against the pashub oracle (they matched
the gov-cert/RdSAP convention but pashub does not apply them): percent_draughtproofed
(cohort 30.8%) and the §A.2.2 assumed secondary heater (19.2%). A heat-network
control-code fix (2306→2303 for 16 Bingley) is HELD pending spec/Elmhurst
adjudication — it contradicts ADR-0053; see the NOTE on _PASHUB_HEAT_NETWORK_CONTROL_TO_SAP10.

* PasHub heat-network control: room-thermostat-only maps to 2308, not 2306 🟩
The Table 4e Group 3 label "charging linked to use of community heating, room
thermostat only" was mapped to 2306 — the linked-to-use *with-TRVs* code
(control type 3, space charging 1.00). The label explicitly excludes TRVs, so
it is control type 2 / space 1.05 = code 2308/2309 (linked-to-use → DHW 1.00).
2306 asserted TRVs the survey doesn't have and over-rated the cohort's sole
heat-network dwelling (16 Bingley Close 56.89 → 54.01 vs pashub oracle 52).
Verified against SAP 10.2 Table 4e as encoded in cert_to_inputs.py
(_CONTROL_TYPE_BY_CODE 2308→2, space-charging 2308→1.05, DHW 2308→1.00) and the
RdSAP control-label vocabulary in MainheatControlAttributes.py. 2303 (the earlier
audit's guess) is rejected: it is a flat-rate code (DHW 1.05) whose oracle match
was a coincidence of two offsetting spec violations. The residual +2.0 to oracle
52 is the documented SAP-10.2-engine-vs-lodged offset, not a fuel/flags gap
(those were threaded by the #1590 follow-up) — supersedes the ADR-0053 /
HANDOVER_838 "community fuel/flags" attribution.
16 Bingley is the only heat-network fixture in portfolio 838, so this moves one
fixture strictly toward its oracle. Harness ratcheted: within-0.5 0.51→0.58,
MAE 0.625→0.521 (observed 58.5% / 0.520 with all three 2026-07-15 levers).

* PasHub SAP accuracy: restore 3 dropped §2 infiltration inputs (from_site_notes)
`from_site_notes` uniquely dropped three ventilation inputs that the gov-API
and Elmhurst sibling mappers all set, causing a systematic cohort-wide SAP
under-rate vs the company's own accredited SAP-10.2 certs
(property_baseline_performance.effective_sap_score, portfolio 838):
1. percent_draughtproofed — never set, so §2(15) window infiltration was
pinned at its 0.25-ACH worst case on every dwelling. Reconstructed as the
area-weighted % of draught-proofed windows (mirrors Elmhurst
`draught_proofing_percent`). Dominant term.
2. Upper-storey +0.25 m joist void — omitted; now added, matching
`_UPPER_FLOOR_HEIGHT_ADD_M` on the gov-API/Elmhurst paths. This
RE-ADJUDICATES #1601 ("keep raw"): that call was confounded by the
then-present draught-proofing drop suppressing every verified dwelling.
3. sheltered_sides — left None → calculator's flat default of 2, which
over-shelters end/semi/detached (RdSAP §S5 = 1/1/0). Now derived from
built form.
The three are NON-ADDITIVE — each overshoots alone (which is why all three
were previously rejected individually) — but together they land all 7
verified ground-truth dwellings toward truth (none regress) and every built
form near zero. Cohort 62.1% -> 83.3% within-0.5, MAE 0.507 -> 0.377.
Guardrails: gov-API RdSAP corpus unchanged (78.9%, these are from_site_notes-
only helpers). pashub harness 58.5% -> 79.5% / MAE 0.520 -> 0.389; ratchets
tightened 0.58->0.78 and 0.521->0.40. pyright zero-new (mapper baseline 39).
New focused tests in TestFromSiteNotesInfiltrationFixes cover all three
fields incl. area-weighting and the built-form shelter map; goldens updated.

950 boilers / 951 CHP / 952 community heat pump differ only in plant

dwelling's delivered-heat demand must not vary with it. Passes on the

SAP 10.2 §4.3 (p.24) puts the water-heating efficiency in the Table 12
