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,
has_balanced_mv)` wired at the orchestrator pumps_fans summation
alongside the existing circulation-pump and gas-flue-fan helpers.
Footnote-e balanced-MV omission reads `epc.sap_ventilation.
mechanical_ventilation_kind` via the new
`_has_balanced_mechanical_ventilation` predicate (returns True for
MVHR / MV; False for MEV / PIV / NATURAL).
Per-line walk evidence: cascade `pumps_fans_kwh_per_yr` = 0.0000 vs
worksheet (249) = 136.3500 = 1.5 × 0.4 × 227.25 exactly. Default SFP
from footnote e matches; PCDB warm-air-unit SFP lookup deferred
until a fixture exercises it.
Closures electric 2:

ΔSAP +0.7002 → −0.1087 (residual swung past worksheet — the +0.70

just past zero, exposing a small upstream SH cascade gap likely

Δcost −£16.14 → +£2.50
ΔCO2 −2.37 → +16.54 kg
ΔPE −108.58 → +97.69 kWh
No regressions on the other 24 cohort variants — the warm-air-code
gate fires only when `sap_main_heating_code` is in the new frozenset
and only electric 2 has a warm-air SAP code in the corpus. Extended

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

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
EIGHTEEN_HOUR tariff this is Table 32 code 38 = £40.
4. Orchestrator (`cert_to_inputs`) resolves the blend once and overrides
`hot_water_kwh_per_yr`, `hot_water_fuel_cost_gbp_per_kwh`,
`hot_water_co2_factor_kg_per_kwh`, `hot_water_primary_factor`, and
`standing_charges_gbp` when the predicate fires. Other certs fall
back to the existing single-fuel HW helpers (no behaviour change).
Worksheet evidence (heating-systems corpus property 001431 SF2 — code
158 + WHC=901 + cylinder thermostat + 18-hour tariff):
- (62) Oct-May = 2205.80 kWh, Jun-Sep = 684.55 kWh

- (251) Standing = £40 (off-peak electric standing only — solid fuel

- (255) Total = £801.13
Closures (SF2):
ΔSAP_c +1.86 → -0.0000 (EXACT)
Δcost -£42.84 → -£0.00 (EXACT)
ΔCO2 +346.87 → -93.10 kg/yr (residual: Elmhurst CO2 blend uses a
different summer-month weighting that
the SAP 10.2 Table 12d cascade does
not reproduce — spec-correct per
Table 12d header).
ΔPE -605.76 → -1027.51 kWh/yr (same spec-vs-Elmhurst PE blend
artifact via Table 12e monthly

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`
import on the new test's `_cylinder_epc_for` return annotation).

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).
Pyright net-zero (43 → 43). Extended handover suite: 895 → 896 pass.

RdSAP 10 Specification §4.1 Table 5 "Ventilation parameters" (PDF p.28)
verbatim — "Extract fans" entry:

• 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

Park home:

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

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

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:
oil 1 Δcost -£9.31 → -£6.69 (closed £2.62, pumps 265 +

SAP 10.2 Table 4f (PDF p.174) "Electricity for fans, pumps and other
auxiliary uses" row:
Liquid fuel boiler — flue fan and fuel pump 100 kWh/yr c) d)
Note c): "Applies to all liquid fuel boilers that provide main heating,
but not if boiler provides hot water only. Where there are two main
heating systems include two figures from this table."
Pre-slice the cascade's `_table_4f_additive_components` only wired:
- (230a) MEV / MVHR
- (230e) Main 2 gas-boiler flue fan (45 kWh)
- (230g) Solar HW pump
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.
Cascade impact across heating-systems corpus:

2 × 100 = 200 kWh aux per Note c). Cert's published SAP 73
suggests the dual-main Q_space split (main_heating_fraction)
may also need wiring — slice candidate.

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
Table 4b code 127 (winter 84, summer 72). Annual HW fuel (219) =
Σ (64)m × 100 / (217)m = 3638.99 kWh/yr ≡ cascade post-slice.
Cascade impact:
Heating-systems corpus (worksheet-pinned, oil 1 only on pin grid):
oil 1 SAP +1.76 → +1.18 (Δ -0.59)
cost -£40.60 → -£27.12 (Δ +£13.48)
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
boiler") with no PCDB index and no `main_heating_category` lodgement,
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:
Combi codes: 103, 104, 107, 108, 112, 113, 118, 128, 129, 130
CPSU codes: 120, 121, 122, 123
Oil 1 worksheet (59)m daily rate = 1.3972 kWh/day uniform = 14 ×
[0.0245 × 3 + 0.0263] (uninsulated pipework, has cylinder thermostat +
separately timed DHW → h=3 winter & summer per Table 3 split). Annual
sum = 365 × 1.3972 ≈ 510 kWh/yr — matches the worksheet's (59) annual.
Cascade impact on heating-systems corpus:
- oil 1 SAP residual +2.66 → +1.76 (Δ -0.90)
cost -£61.24 → -£40.60 (Δ +£20.64)
CO2 -242.27 → -129.22 (Δ +113.05 kg/yr)
PE -1050.49 → -590.02 (Δ +460.47 kWh/yr)
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/
2/3, pcdb 1) or via the boiler-category {1,2} branch. The other oil
codes 124/125/126/131/132 + range-cooker codes 133-141 are gated for
free by the same dispatch when their certs surface in future cohorts.

SAP 10.2 Table 4e (PDF p.170-173) "Heating system controls":

temperature and is added to worksheet (92)m.
SAP 10.2 Table 9c step 8 (PDF p.184): "Apply adjustment to the mean

Pre-slice the cascade hardcoded `control_temperature_adjustment_c
=0.0` at all three call sites of `mean_internal_temperature_monthly`
and `space_heating_section_with_results`. The §8 heat loss calc
therefore drove off (92)m unchanged → §8 SH demand under-counted on

SAP 10.2 Table 11 (PDF p.188) "Fraction of heat supplied by
secondary heating systems" — the "Electric storage heaters (not
integrated)" row splits by Table 4a sub-type:
- not fan-assisted: 0.15
- fan-assisted: 0.10
- high heat retention (as defined in 9.2.8): 0.10
Plus separate rows:
Integrated storage/direct-acting electric systems: 0.10
Electric room heaters: 0.20
Other electric systems (e.g. underfloor): 0.10
Cross-referenced with SAP 10.2 Table 4a (PDF p.166) Electric
storage codes:
401: Old (large volume) storage heaters — not fan-assisted
402: Slimline storage heaters — not fan-assisted
403: Convector storage heaters — not fan-assisted
404: Fan storage heaters — fan-assisted
405: Slimline + Celect — not fan-assisted
406: Convector + Celect — not fan-assisted
407: Fan + Celect — fan-assisted
408: Integrated storage + direct-acting — "Integrated"
409: High heat retention — HHR
421: Underfloor heating — "Other electric"
Pre-slice the cascade defaulted `_secondary_fraction` to 0.10 for
every forced electric-storage code (Elmhurst mapper leaves
`main_heating_category=None`, dispatch falls through to the
`_SECONDARY_HEATING_FRACTION_DEFAULT` 0.10), missing the 0.15
not-fan-assisted sub-row on codes 401/402/403/405/406.
Two compounding spec-citable fixes:
(a) New `_SECONDARY_FRACTION_BY_ELECTRIC_STORAGE_CODE` dispatch dict
consulted before the category-based lookup in
`_secondary_fraction`. Routes each Table 4a 4xx code to its
Table 11 sub-row fraction.
(b) Code 408 removed from `_FORCE_SECONDARY_FOR_MAIN_CODES`.
SAP 10.2 §A.2.2 (PDF p.~189) verbatim: "This applies to main
heating codes 401 to 407, 409 and 421" — 408 is explicitly
NOT in the spec's forced list. The integrated storage+direct-
acting heater's direct-acting element acts as the secondary
already, so the calculation doesn't add another.
Corpus impact (electric variants — Elmhurst mapper path):
- electric 3 (SAP 401): sec_frac 0.10 → 0.15; CO2 -117.84 →
-108.88; PE -1121.97 → -1093.18. SAP / cost residual unchanged
because the off-peak meter routes the cost calc through the
`_ZERO_FUEL_COST_FOR_OFF_PEAK` sentinel + legacy scalar-field
math which bills main and secondary at the same off-peak low
rate (7.41 p/kWh) — main-vs-secondary split is cost-neutral.
- electric 5 (SAP 402): sec_frac 0.10 → 0.15; CO2 -11.08 → -2.48;
PE -161.03 → -133.36. Same cost-invariance.
- electric 7 (SAP 408): forced-secondary removed → cascade secondary
fuel kWh 891 → 0 (matches worksheet); CO2 -37.86 → -53.57;
PE -498.47 → -549.37. SAP residual unchanged (same off-peak
cost-invariance).
- electric 4/6/8/9: no change (categories 404/409/421 keep their
existing 0.10 dispatch).
The remaining +2.55 SAP residual on electric 3 (+1.29 on electric 7)
is now confirmed to be driven by space-heating DEMAND undercount
(cascade SH demand 10083 kWh vs worksheet 11088 kWh for electric 3;
8914 vs 9529 for electric 7), not by sec_frac dispatch. That's a
separate slice — likely §9 MIT calc or §8 gains/HLC for storage-
heater R values, follow-up after this slice.
Extended handover suite: 887 pass, 0 fail (was 886 + 1 new AAA test).
