The main-wall `u_wall(...)` call dropped the `dry_lined` kwarg, so the RdSAP 10
§5.7/§5.8 (PDF p.40-41) Table 14 dry-lining adjustment — U_adj = 1/(1/U₀ +
0.17) for a dry-lined (incl. lath-and-plaster) uninsulated wall — was never
applied to any main wall, even when the cert lodged `wall_dry_lined=Y`. The
ALTERNATIVE-wall path already passes `dry_lined` (line 1367); this one-sided
omission billed every dry-lined main wall at the un-adjusted (too-high) U →
wall heat loss too high → SAP under-rated.
Per-cert: a solid-brick (construction 3) band-A 230 mm main wall computes
U₀=1.70; dry-lined it is 1/(1/1.70+0.17)=1.32 — we were 22% too high. Across
the API gov-EPC sample the dry-lined `wall_construction=3` (solid brick)
sub-cohort sat at 10% within-0.5 / signed -1.33.
Fix: pass `dry_lined=bool(part.wall_dry_lined)` to the main-wall `u_wall`
call, mirroring the alt-wall path. `part.wall_dry_lined` is already plumbed
(Optional[bool], None → False). The three dry-lining branches in `u_wall`
(stone §5.6, solid-brick-by-thickness §5.7, generic uninsulated bucket §5.8)
are all spec-correct and already worksheet-validated (the bucket-0 cavity
case against cert 7700 age-C → 1.20).
Worksheet harness UNAFFECTED (47/47, 0 divergers): the Elmhurst/Summary
extractor only captures dry-lining for ALTERNATIVE walls (Summary §7), never
the main wall, so `part.wall_dry_lined` stays None on that path — this is a
pure API-path improvement. API gauge: within-0.5 60.1% -> 64.4% (mean|err|
1.163 -> 1.085, signed -0.097 -> +0.049). Both affected buckets improved
with no overshoot: solid brick (wc=3) 50% -> 57% within-0.5; cavity (wc=4,
dry-lined via the §5.8 bucket-0 path) 68% -> 72%.

A flat accessed via an unheated corridor/stairwell assumes a draught lobby
is present, so SAP 10.2 §2 line (13) = 0.0 rather than the 0.05 no-lobby
infiltration penalty. Per RdSAP 10 Specification (10-06-2025, p.30, "Draught
lobby"): "add infiltration 0.05 if draught lobby is not present, or use 0.0
if present. ... Flat or maisonette: Assume draught lobby if entrance door is
facing corridor (heated or unheated) or stairwell."
Signal: a SHELTERED alternative wall (the RdSAP §5.9 wall-to-unheated-corridor
surface) is the evidence that the flat's entrance faces a corridor — the same
evidence the corridor door (Table 26 U=1.4) rides on. New helper
`_has_sheltered_corridor_wall` factors that check out of `_corridor_door_count`
and gates `_has_draught_lobby`. Houses and exposed-gable flats (no sheltered
alt wall) keep the lodged value / "assume no lobby if cannot be determined"
default, so the §2 cascade is unchanged for every non-corridor dwelling.
The cascade previously added the 0.05 penalty unconditionally, over-counting
(16)/(18)/(21) by 0.05 ACH. On simulated case 34 (cert 001431 storage flat)
this lifted effective air change (25)m from the worksheet's monthly 0.572-0.638
to 0.574-0.668, over-counting space-heating demand (98) by +46.3 kWh/yr
(+0.41%) -> SAP -0.18. Closing it lands (25)m exactly on the worksheet (avg
0.6024) and (98) at 11356.3 vs ws 11357.2:
case 34 SAP 35.1325 -> 35.3130 vs ws 35.3094 (Δ -0.1769 -> +0.0036)
Guard-rails held (both improved): worksheet harness 47/47, 0 divergers (the
other corridor flat, cert 2474, -0.32 -> -0.02); API gauge 60.0% -> 60.1%
within 0.5, mean|err| 1.167 -> 1.163.

A door opening to an unheated corridor/stairwell takes U=1.4 W/m²K (RdSAP 10
Table 26, p.51 — any age band) instead of the 3.0 external-door default, and
its area deducts from the SHELTERED wall, not the main wall (RdSAP §3.7,
p.18: "the door of a flat/maisonette to an unheated stairwell or corridor
... is deducted from the sheltered wall area"). The cascade previously
billed every door at the external U on the main wall.
Signal: a SHELTERED alternative wall (`is_sheltered`, the RdSAP §5.9
wall-to-unheated-corridor surface, already modelled) is the evidence that
the dwelling is accessed via an unheated corridor, so one lodged door opens
to it. `_corridor_door_count` returns 1 when a sheltered alt wall is present
and >=1 door is lodged, else 0 — so the door channel is unchanged for every
non-corridor dwelling (houses, exposed-gable flats). `heat_transmission_
from_cert` gains a `corridor_door_count` param (default 0): it splits the
door area into external (main wall, age-default U) + corridor (sheltered
alt wall, U=1.4), threading the corridor door's area into that wall's
opening deduction and billing it at 1.4.
Validated on TWO faithful worksheets: simulated case 34 (cert 001431
storage flat — doors 8.14 exact, fabric 207.47 ≈ ws 207.48) and the
long-standing worksheet-harness diverger cert 2474 (−0.87 → −0.32, the
"space-demand thread" was the dropped corridor door). The worksheet harness
is now 47/47 with ZERO divergers.
API SAP gauge: 57.6% → 60.0% within 0.5; mean|err| 1.185 → 1.167; signed
−0.165 → −0.115 — ~22 sheltered-corridor flats were a systematic gap.

SAP 10.2 Table 12a (PDF p.191) is titled "High-rate fractions for systems
using 7-hour and 10-hour tariffs"; its "Immersion water heater" row lists
the tariff as "7-hour or 10-hour" only, routing to Table 13. An 18-hour or
24-hour tariff is OUTSIDE the table's scope — it provides at least 18
hours/day at the low rate, more than enough to heat any immersion cylinder
off-peak, so the high-rate fraction is 0 (all DHW billed at the low rate).
`electric_dhw_high_rate_fraction` previously mapped 18-/24-hour to the
10-hour equations (returning ~0.10 for a 110 L dual immersion) on an
over-literal reading of Table 13 Note 1 ("at least 10 hours"). The Elmhurst
dr87 worksheet for solid fuel 5 (cert 001431: 18-hour meter, 110 L dual
immersion, WHC 903) refutes that: HW (245) high-rate = 0.0 kWh, (246)
low-rate = 100%. Table 12a's title bounds the table to the two named
tariffs; 18-/24-hour fall outside it.
Resolves the Table-13 blocker on the immersion-extractor fix: once the
Summary extractor captures the dual immersion, the 18-hour solid-fuel
corpus certs stay at high_frac=0 (matching their worksheets) instead of
regressing to the 10-hour-column 0.10.
API SAP eval unchanged: 57.6% within 0.5, mean|err| 1.185, signed -0.165
(the cached sample has no 18-hour WHC-903 certs; one 24-hour cert shifts
sub-threshold). Regression gate green (3 pre-existing fails unrelated).

SAP 10.2 §9.4.9 (PDF p.32) verbatim: "A cylinder thermostat should be
assumed to be present when the domestic hot water is obtained from a heat
network, an immersion heater, a thermal store, a combi boiler or a CPSU."
RdSAP 10 Table 29 (p.56) points the no-access default at this rule.
The storage-loss Table 2b temperature factor previously read only the
lodged `cylinder_thermostat` ("Y") — so an unlodged thermostat always took
the ×1.3 absent-penalty, over-stating storage loss by 30%. New
`_cylinder_thermostat_present` assumes it present when DHW is from a heat
network, WHC 903 (immersion), or a direct-acting electric boiler (SAP code
191 — electric-resistance, immersion-equivalent).
Found via the worksheet-folder harness: cert 2474-3059-4202-4496-3200
(Summary path: WHC 901, main SAP 191, electric, no lodged cylinder stat)
diverged −1.86 from its dr87 worksheet. The worksheet lodges (53)
temperature factor 0.6000 (present) and "add cylinder thermostat (SAP
increase too small)" — already assumed present. Fix lands HW output (64)
2701.99 → 2323.88, EXACT to the worksheet; 2474 −1.86 → −0.87 (residual is
a separate space-demand fabric thread). No other worksheet in the 47-cert
harness moved.
API eval within-0.5 56.9% → 57.6%; mean|err| 1.197 → 1.185; signed
−0.202 → −0.165. Regression green (only pre-existing fails); goldens +
heating corpus unaffected.

SAP 10.2 Table 3 (PDF p.160) verbatim: "For heat networks apply the
formula above with p = 1.0 and h = 3 for all months." The primary
circulation hours for a heat-network main are fixed at h=3 winter and
summer, independent of the cylinder-thermostat / separate-timing
lodgement that selects the h=5/h=11 rows for boiler systems.
`primary_loss_monthly_kwh` / `primary_circuit_hours_per_day_table_3` gain
a `heat_network` flag (→ (3, 3)); `_primary_loss_override` passes
`_is_heat_network_main(main)`. p=1.0 was already pinned via
`_HEAT_NETWORK_PIPEWORK_INSULATION_FRACTION`; only the hours were wrong.
Before, cert 8536 routed through the h=5/3 row because its community
biomass DHW fuel (31) collides with electricity code 31, so
`_separately_timed_dhw` returned False. The Table 3 heat-network rule
overrides that path: 8536 primary loss (59) 335.81 → 273.90, EXACT to
the faithful case-32 worksheet (storage (56) 376.58 also matches 376.94).
API eval within-0.5 57.0% → 56.9% (one offsetting-error cert crosses
out; signed err −0.205 → −0.202). Applied spec-uniformly per the
determinism principle — the heat-network primary hours are unambiguous.

A heat-network main with DHW from the network and no lodged cylinder was
billed the Table 3a keep-hot 600 kWh/yr combi loss (cat 6 sat in
`_TABLE_3A_COMBI_LOSS_MAIN_HEATING_CATEGORIES`). A heat network is not a
combi boiler — SAP 10.2 §4 line 7702 says combi loss is 0 for non-combi
systems.
SAP 10.2 p.24 "Heat networks" (c): when neither a PCDB Heat Interface
Unit nor a lodged cylinder applies, "a measured loss of 1.72 kWh/day
should be used, corrected using Table 2b. This is equivalent to a
cylinder of 110 litres and a factory insulation thickness of 50 mm".
RdSAP 10 Table 29 (p.56): a cylinder thermostat is assumed present when
DHW is from a heat network (Table 2b temperature factor 0.60).
New `_apply_heat_network_hiu_default_store` rebinds the 110 L / 50 mm-
factory store (thermostat present) onto a heat-network DHW cert with no
cylinder and no PCDB index, mirroring `_apply_rdsap_no_water_heating_
system_default`. The injected store routes storage loss (56) ≈ 376.7
kWh/yr (= 1.72 × 0.60 × 365) + primary loss (59) through the existing
machinery and zeroes the combi (61) loss via the has_hot_water_cylinder
gate. Verified against the user's faithful case-32 worksheet: storage
(56) 376.58 vs worksheet 376.94.
Cert 8536 storage 0→376.6, combi 600→0. API eval within-0.5 56.8% →
57.0%; signed err −0.218 → −0.205. Reworked
`test_heat_network_main_with_hw_from_main_dlf_scales_hot_water_kwh` to
assert the DLF scaling directly (fuel ÷ §4 output = 1.41) since the old
two-cert baseline premise (both combi-600) no longer holds.

The GOV.UK API lodges a junk empty leading building part (all fields
None) ahead of the real Main Dwelling on some certs. Four sites in
cert_to_inputs.py read `sap_building_parts[0].construction_age_band` →
got None → silently dropped the dwelling age band. New `_dwelling_age_band`
helper takes the first part that lodges a band (a no-op for normal certs
where [0] is the Main part).
Closes two age-band-keyed defects on the 5 affected certs:
- SAP 10.2 Table 12c (p.193): the heat-network Distribution Loss Factor
defaulted to the K-or-newer 1.50 instead of the dwelling's true band
(cert 8536-0929-6500-0815-7206 is age A → 1.20), inflating distribution
loss by 30%.
- RdSAP 10 §4.1 Table 5 (p.28): the empty band ("") fell through the
age-band branches to the H–M habitable-rooms branch, defaulting in
phantom extract fans. The true band A correctly yields 0 fans
(bands A–E → 0).
Cert 8536: 31.76 → 41.12 vs lodged 39 (was −7.24, now +2.12). API eval
mean|err| 1.197 → 1.192, signed −0.229 → −0.218; headline within-0.5
holds at 56.8% (8536 lands at +2.1, a documented overshoot vs the
faithful case-31 worksheet — separate slice).

The heat-network HW distribution-loss override fired only when the MAIN was
a heat network AND whc inherited from main ({901,902,914}). Water-heating-only
heat networks (SAP 10.2 Table 4a HW codes 950 boilers / 951 CHP / 952 heat
pump) were missed entirely: their Table 4a plant efficiency applied with NO
distribution loss, so the HW fuel was under-counted by the Table 12c DLF
(1.33-1.48x) → under-cost → over-rate.
RdSAP 10 §10 (spec p.36): a water-heating-only heat network is calculated 'for
plant efficiency, distribution loss and pumping energy - see Table 12c'. Added
a whc-gated branch (independent of the main) applying water_eff = plant_eff /
DLF — the per-kWh-generated cost model (q_generated = q_useful x DLF). Fires on
the WHC alone so a HW-only heat network with a non-network main (cert 9093, whc
950 + warm-air main 502) is covered.
The 3 corpus whc=950 certs all improve in |err|: 2153 +2.62->-0.48 (now within
0.5), 7220 +1.27->-0.97, 9093 +6.04->+3.60 (residual is its warm-air main, a
separate cause). within-0.5 56.66->56.79%, within-1.0 71.9->72.2%, mean|err|
down; only those 3 certs change. New AAA test pins the DLF scaling fires on the
WHC independent of the main. Goldens + gate green, pyright net-zero.

Tier-1 finding of the silent-fallback audit. The fuel-type helpers fed the
SAP 10.2 Table 12/32 cost/CO2/PE lookups via a silent
`API_FUEL_TO_TABLE_12.get(fuel, fuel)` passthrough at 5 sites
(_heat_network_factor_fuel_code, HW CO2/PE, _secondary_fuel_code, PV). A fuel
code in NEITHER the API enum map NOR the Table-12 numbering passed straight
through to the mains-gas default baked into unit_price_p_per_kwh /
co2_factor_kg_per_kwh / primary_energy_factor (table_12.py:233/274/287,
table_32.py:190) — silently mis-pricing a novel/colliding fuel as grid gas.
This is the class that mis-priced cert 8536's community biomass as
electricity (-17 SAP) before a7761ea8.
New _table_12_factor_fuel_code mirrors .get(fuel, fuel) EXACTLY for every
recognised input (union of the CO2/PE/price/monthly table keys +
API_FUEL_TO_TABLE_12 values) and raises UnmappedSapCode only when the
resolved code is recognised by no table — surfacing the gap loudly per the
strict-raise principle (reference_unmapped_sap_code). Verified behaviour-
preserving: 0/909 corpus certs hit the new raise; eval unchanged at 54.9%
within-0.5 / 909 computed / 0 raises.

Completes the MEV fan-electricity thread. The PCDB-index slice closed the
9 MEV certs carrying a Table 322 record; the other 11 (mostly gas houses)
lodge mechanical_ventilation=2 with NO PCDB index, so
`_mev_decentralised_kwh_per_yr_from_cert` returned 0 and billed no fan
running cost — a tight +2.2 SAP over-rate (signed +1.23, median +2.19).
SAP 10.2 §2.6.3 / Table 4g note 1 (PDF p.176) prescribes a DEFAULT
specific fan power of 0.8 W/(l/s) for an MEV system whose fans are not in
the PCDB, used directly as SFPav in the §5 Table 4f (230a) formula
(SFPav × 1.22 × V). Restructure the helper: when no Table 322 record
resolves, fall back to the default for a mechanical-extract system
(`mechanical_ventilation_kind == EXTRACT_OR_PIV_OUTSIDE`); natural /
balanced (MVHR / MV) systems still contribute nothing.
Index-less extract cohort closed +1.23 -> +0.18 signed (each gains
~1.1 SAP of fan electricity). This is a spec-correct fix that improves
the aggregate but is a HEADLINE TRADE-OFF: within-2.0 83.6% -> 84.6%,
within-1.0 70.08% -> 70.19%, mean|err| 1.232 -> 1.224, but within-0.5
55.12% -> 54.90% (-2) — the fan energy is only ~half each cert's
over-rate, so the cohort lands at ~+1.0 (still outside 0.5) while two
borderline certs with offsetting errors cross out. Applied uniformly per
the determinism principle ([[feedback_software_no_special_handling]]):
the unmasked residual (~+1.0 on gas-house MEV) is the next lead.
1 AAA test (default SFP 0.8 × 1.22 × V for index-less MEV, 0 for

Follow-up to the §2 MV-kind slice. Once MEV dwellings stopped
under-stating their ventilation HEAT loss, a +0.9 SAP over-rate residual
remained — the MEV FAN ELECTRICITY (§5 Table 4f line (230a),
`SFPav × 1.22 × V`, PCDB Tables 322 decentralised-MEV + 329 in-use
factors). `_mev_decentralised_kwh_per_yr_from_cert` already composes it,
but reads `epc.mechanical_ventilation_index_number` +
`epc.mechanical_vent_duct_type`, and the API builder
(`from_rdsap_schema_21_0_1`) never set either — so `pcdf_id is None`
short-circuited the fan energy to 0 on every API cert (the Summary/
Elmhurst path set them, so cert 000565 already billed it).
Wire both schema fields through the 21.0.1 API construction (the corpus
schema). Eval: the 9 MEV certs carrying a PCDB index closed +0.90 ->
+0.13 signed (fan electricity now billed); headline within-0.5 55.01% ->
55.12%, mean|err| 1.233 -> 1.232, 909 computed / 0 raises. Only those 9
certs move (clean diff). The 11 index-less MEV certs still sit at +1.36 —
they need the SAP Table 4h DEFAULT specific fan power (no PCDB record), a
separate slice.
New end-to-end test + fixture (cert 1300, Titon-class dMEV index 500777,
Flexible duct): from_api_response preserves the index + duct type and

The profiler flagged `mechanical_ventilation=2` as a clean systematic
over-rate: 20 certs, signed +1.90 SAP, only 5% within 0.5 (every one
positive). Root cause: the API path (`from_api_response`) dropped the
doc-level `mechanical_ventilation` field, so `sap_ventilation.
mechanical_ventilation_kind` was always None and the §2 cascade
defaulted to NATURAL — under-stating the ventilation air-change rate
(and hence heat loss) for every mechanical system. (Only the Elmhurst/
Summary path mapped it, via `_ELMHURST_MV_TYPE_TO_KIND`.)
RdSAP-Schema-21 `mechanical_ventilation` enum (epc_codes.csv) →
MechanicalVentilationKind picking the SAP 10.2 §2 (24a..d) effective-ach

3 mechanical extract, c (MEV) -> EXTRACT_OR_PIV_OUTSIDE (24c)
5 positive input from loft -> NATURAL (loft-sourced PIV adds no
system air change per RdSAP 10 §2.6)
6 positive input from outside -> EXTRACT_OR_PIV_OUTSIDE (24c)
Code 4 (MVHR, 24a) is DEFERRED — its formula needs the lodged
heat-recovery efficiency (PCDB Table 326) the API→cascade path doesn't
yet plumb; mapping it to MVHR with a null efficiency would mis-model it
as MV, so it stays NATURAL (3 scattered certs, accurate at the median).
Unmapped integers raise `UnmappedApiCode` (mirror of `_api_sheltered_

Audit of the API-SAP error (53% within 0.5) localised the systematic
under-rate to ELECTRIC FLATS (houses sit at 60-66% within 0.5; electric
flats 13-19%). Decomposing the flat error showed it tracks space-heating
demand per m² — the worst certs reach 130-289 kWh/m² (accurate certs sit
at 14-110), i.e. a grossly over-stated fabric heat loss, amplified ~4x by
the electricity unit price and the steep low-band SAP log curve.
Root cause: the gov-EPC API lodges `sheltered_wall="Y"` on alternative
wall sub-areas (a sub-area adjacent to an unheated buffer — stair core,
adjoining structure), but the field was dropped by the schema + domain
dataclasses and the calculator billed the alt sub-area at its full
exposed U. RdSAP 10 Table 4 (PDF p.22) "Sheltered": such a wall carries
an added external surface resistance R=0.5 m²K/W → U_sheltered =
1/(1/U + 0.5) — the SAME adjustment the main wall already applies for
`gable_wall_type=2` (`gable_wall_sheltered`,
`_SHELTERED_GABLE_ADDED_RESISTANCE_M2K_W`). Cert 0340-2976 (band-A flat,
42 m² sheltered timber-frame alt) over-stated its wall channel by
~58 W/K → walls 128 -> 70 W/K.
Threads the field end-to-end: schema dataclasses (21.0.0/21.0.1) +
domain `SapAlternativeWall.is_sheltered` (default False — the Summary/
Elmhurst path leaves it False, sheltering rides through its lodged
U-value there, so goldens are untouched) + `from_api_response` mapping
`"Y"->True` + `_alt_wall_w_per_k` applying the 0.5 resistance on the
cascade path (lodged-U and basement alt-walls return before it).
140 certs (15% of the corpus) carry a sheltered alt-wall; they under-
rated at median -0.82 / mean signed -1.33 / 23% within 0.5. Eval: 102

The gov-API `main_fuel_type`/`water_heating_fuel` enum (epc_codes.csv)
codes 30="waste combustion (community)", 31="biomass (community)",
32="biogas (community)" collide in VALUE with the Table-32 electricity
codes 30 (standard rate), 31 (7-hour low) and 32 (7-hour high). All three
sit in `_ELECTRIC_FUEL_CODES`, so `is_electric_fuel_code` flagged a
community-scheme main as electric and `_is_electric_main` routed its cost
through the off-peak electricity branch — BYPASSING the heat-network rate
in `_heat_network_factor_fuel_code`. Cert 8536 (biomass community, SAP
code 301) was billing at 5.5 p/kWh grid electricity instead of the 4.24
p/kWh heat-network rate → -17.2 SAP.
Per RdSAP 10 §C / SAP 10.2 Table 12 (PDF p.191) the community
waste/biomass/biogas rows are codes 42/43/44 (the same rows the
backwards-compat enum codes 11/12/13 already map to). Add 30->42, 31->43,
32->44 to both API fuel-translation tables.
The remap CANNOT be global (`canonical_fuel_code`): the cascade uses the
bare Table-32 code 30 internally as `_STANDARD_ELECTRICITY_FUEL_CODE`
(the RdSAP no-water-heating immersion default writes
`water_heating_fuel=30`), so a blanket remap mis-prices genuine grid
electricity as community waste (cert 2211 regressed +16 SAP in a
prototype). Instead `_heat_network_community_fuel_code` translates only
when `_is_heat_network_main` is true, at the `_main_fuel_code` /
`_water_heating_fuel_code` fuel-TYPE boundary, where the community
meaning is unambiguous.
Per the strict-raise principle ([[reference-unmapped-sap-code]]), a
heat-network main lodging a colliding community fuel the table doesn't
cover raises `UnmappedSapCode` rather than silently falling through to
the same-numbered electricity code.

A coal main (gov-API main_fuel_type=33) was priced at the electricity
10-hour low rate (7.5 p) and anthracite (5) at the bulk-LPG rate
(12.19 p), because the shared price/CO2/PE lookups check Table-32/12-code
membership BEFORE translating the API enum — and codes 5/33 collide with
a different-fuel Table code. This drove the cohort's single worst cert
(2100 anthracite, -61 SAP). `is_electric_fuel_code(33)` also wrongly
classified the coal main as electric.
The gov-API fuel enum (confirmed by description-vs-code audit on
main_heating[].description): 5=anthracite, 33=coal, 9=dual-fuel,
20/25/31=community. The collision can't be resolved inside the shared
table functions — code 33 is ALSO the electricity-10h TARIFF code used by
the dual-rate CO2/PE split (golden 000565), so normalising there breaks
electricity certs. Instead `canonical_fuel_code` normalises the colliding
SOLID-fuel enums (5->15 anthracite, 33->11 house coal) at the fuel-TYPE
boundary in `_main_fuel_code` / `_water_heating_fuel_code`, where the code
is known to be a fuel type (never a tariff code).
Scoped to anthracite (5) + coal (33) — the unambiguous large mispricings.
Dual-fuel (9, 0.45 p delta) and community (20/25/31, heat-network path)
are deferred (noted in `_GOV_API_COLLISION_FUELS`).

are unchanged, so the electricity-tariff CO2/PE path is untouched).

An as-built cavity wall (wall_insulation_type=4) lodged "Cavity wall, as
built, insulated (assumed)" was routed to RdSAP 10 Table 6's "Filled
cavity" row. Per Table 6 (England, PDF p.41) the Filled-cavity row carries
the "†" footnote ("assumed as built") only at age bands I-M, where it is
numerically identical to "Cavity as built"; at bands A-H the Filled-cavity
row represents a GENUINE fill, not the as-built assumption. So an as-built
cavity must use the "Cavity as built" row at all bands (band G/H = 0.60,
not the filled 0.35).
This is the same latent A-H bug slice S0380.210 fixed for the "partial
insulation (assumed)" variant but left in place for "insulated (assumed)"
by a legacy production convention. The API SAP-accuracy cohort over-rated
"Cavity wall, as built, insulated (assumed)" certs at bands G/H by a clean
+1.38 / +1.61 SAP median (n=37 / n=18); bands I-M were unaffected (rows
coincide), confirming the spec mechanism per-band.
Retires the `_cavity_described_as_filled` description sniffer — as-built
cavities now always use the as-built row regardless of the rendered
insulation adjective; a genuine retrofit fill is still caught by the
explicit wall_insulation_type=2 branch.

Electric immersion water heating (WHC 903) on an off-peak tariff billed
100% at the low rate, under-costing the dwelling and over-rating it
(median +0.98 SAP across the off-peak WHC-903 API cohort, n=57).
SAP 10.2 Table 12a "Immersion water heater" row (PDF p.191) routes the
water-heating column to Table 13 (PDF p.197): the high-rate fraction is
a function of cylinder volume V, assumed occupancy N (Appendix J Table
1b) and single-/dual-immersion. The remainder bills at the low rate.
Table 13 Note 2 supplies exact equations equivalent to the rounded grid;
`electric_dhw_high_rate_fraction` evaluates them (validated against the
published 110 L grid cells). Per Note 1 the 10-hour equations cover any
tariff with >=10 hours/day low-rate (so 18-/24-hour use that column).
Immersion code mapping CONFIRMED 1=dual, 2=single via RdSAP 10 §10.5
(PDF p.54 — an immersion is "assumed dual" on a dual/off-peak meter)
cross-checked against the API cohort (code 1 sits 3.6:1 on dual meters;
code 2 on single meters). This INVERTS an earlier handover's unverified
"1=single, 2=dual" note — the dual code carries Table 13's small
fraction, matching the cohort over-rating direction; the single mapping
overshot in a prototype.
API SAP eval: 47.6% -> 48.6% within 0.5; <1.0 62.6% -> 63.8%;

`_secondary_fraction` keyed "has a secondary" off the integer
`secondary_heating_type` code. The gov-API path surfaces the secondary as a
DESCRIPTION instead (`secondary_heating.description`, e.g. "Portable electric
heaters (assumed)") and leaves the integer code None. So a gas/oil boiler
main (not in the §A.2.2 forced-secondary set) with an assumed portable-electric
secondary dropped the secondary entirely (sec_kWh=0), under-costing the
dwelling and over-rating its SAP.
Per RdSAP §A.2.2 / SAP 10.2 Table 11, a lodged secondary is costed at its
Table 11 fraction (cat-2 boiler = 0.10, billed at standard-rate electricity per
the §A.2.2 assumed portable-electric default). New
`_has_lodged_secondary_description` treats a real `secondary_heating.description`
as a lodged secondary; passed to `_secondary_fraction` at both call sites. The
description is authoritative — same lesson as floor_heat_loss / roof codes.
(Electric-storage mains were unaffected: they force the secondary already.)
Also adds the Table 11 fraction for main_heating_category=8 (electric underfloor,
"Integrated storage/direct-acting electric systems" = 0.10) — the strict-raise
surfaced this latent gap once cat-8 mains were routed through the lookup.

`_BOILER_NO_ROOM_THERMOSTAT_CONTROL_CODES` held only {2101, 2102} — it was
keyed off the Table 4e "+0.6 °C" annotation rather than the actual interlock
criterion. SAP 10.2 §9.4.11 (PDF p.66): "A boiler system with no room
thermostat (or a device equivalent in this context, such as a flow switch or
boiler energy manager) ... must be considered as having no interlock", and
"TRVs alone ... do not perform the boiler interlock function". A fixed bypass
likewise provides no interlock (it keeps water circulating when TRVs close).
So control 2107 ("Programmer, TRVs and bypass") and 2111 ("TRVs and bypass")
lack interlock and must take the Table 4c(2) −5pp Space+DHW seasonal-efficiency
adjustment and the Table 4f footnote a) ×1.3 circulation-pump uplift — both of
which they previously missed. (2108 flow switch / 2109 boiler energy manager
carry interlock-equivalent devices → excluded; 2103-2106/2113 have a room
thermostat.) All affected certs are cat-2 gas boilers, where §9.4.11 applies.

The API `floor_heat_loss` code is authoritative — confirmed by joining each
single-BP cert's code to its independent `floors[].description` (which the
gov register publishes alongside the code):
code 1 ↔ "To external air" (exposed, 9/9)
code 2 ↔ "To unheated space" (semi-exposed, 6/6)
code 3 ↔ "(other premises below)" (partially htd, 9/9)
code 6 ↔ "(another dwelling below)" (party, 176/176)
code 7 ↔ "Solid"/"Suspended …" (ground, all)
Code 3 was mis-mapped to "To unheated space" (semi-exposed) and, on
mid-/top-floor flats, had its floor area zeroed entirely by the
dwelling-level exposure heuristic. RdSAP 10 §3.12 (PDF p.25) classes a
flat's floor over non-domestic "other premises … heated, but at different
times" as "above a partially heated space" → the §5.14 (PDF p.47) constant
U=0.7 W/m²K — distinct from semi-exposed (Table 20) and party (no loss).
Fix: the mapper sets `is_above_partially_heated_space` on the floor=0
dimension for code 3 (string → "(other premises below)" for fidelity), and
the heat-transmission step lets that per-BP lodgement override the flat
suppression upward (mirroring the existing exposed / "another dwelling
below" overrides). The cascade already routes is_above_partial → U=0.7.
Re-pins golden cert 7536-3827: its Ext2 (bp3) lodges code 3, but the cert's
lossy `floors[]` summary dropped that description, so a prior agent guessed
"code 3 = ground" (U=1.12) and concluded the residual was an irreducible
"register-rounding" artifact. It was this bug: Ext2 floor U 1.12 → 0.70,
PE -6.1952 → -5.6414, CO2 -0.1639 → -0.1492 (both toward 0), SAP unchanged.

+7.82 → +0.83, 2610 +7.47 → -1.29); the few that overshoot were already
failing and carry independent fabric bugs (9763's walls = 8 W/K for 60 m²).

A mid-/top-floor flat whose lowest floor is lodged as an exposed floor
(API floor_heat_loss=1) had its floor area zeroed by the dwelling-level
exposure heuristic, which keys only on the flat label and defaults
has_exposed_floor=False (assuming the floor sits over another *heated*
dwelling). RdSAP 10 §3.12 (PDF p.25) is explicit:
"Otherwise the floor area of the flat ... is:
- an exposed floor if there is an open space below"
i.e. a flat cantilevered over a passageway IS a heat-loss floor on
Table 20. The per-BP `is_exposed_floor` lodgement is authoritative and
now overrides the dwelling-level suppression upward, mirroring the
existing "another dwelling below" party override (which suppresses
downward). The code-1↔"E To external air" enum is confirmed by the
paired API+Summary worksheet certs (0350, 3800).
Eval: 45.1% → 45.3% within 0.5 (909 computed); cert 3836 +6.79 → +0.77,

already-failing under-rated certs (7636, 2241) shift further — both are
dominated by independent cost-side over-counts the exposed floor merely
unmasks (7636 walls = 8.98 W/K for 33.87 m² is the real defect).

SAP 10.2 Table 11 (p.188): a gas/oil warm-air unit falls under "All gas,

SAP 10.2 Table 3 (PDF p.160) names "Direct-acting electric boiler"
verbatim in the primary-loss zero list (alongside electric immersion,
combi, CPSU, integral-vessel heat pump). RdSAP 10 §12 (p.62) classifies
SAP code 191 as the direct-acting electric boiler. Its cylinder is
immersion-heated with no primary pipework, so no primary circuit loss
applies — but `_primary_loss_applies` had no 191 branch, so a 191 main
(main_heating_category 2, "Boiler and radiators, electric") fell through
to the cat-{1,2} boiler branch and accrued ~1177 kWh/yr of phantom
primary loss on the electric-flat segment.

system") and the main carries a PCDB Table 362 record,
`_hot_water_fuel_cost_gbp_per_kwh` billed the electric HW at 100% off-peak
low rate (its long-standing TODO). SAP 10.2 Table 12a Grid 1 WH column
(PDF p.191) puts HP-DHW on the ASHP/GSHP-from-database row: 0.70
high-rate fraction at 7-hour and 10-hour → 0.70×14.68 + 0.30×7.50 =
12.526 p/kWh (10-hour), not 7.50 p. The low-rate collapse over-credited
the cat-4 HP-DHW cluster.
Fix: pass the cert WHC into the helper and, for HP-DHW (WHC ∈ {901,902,

A heat pump that resolves via its PCDB Table 362 index alone (API path,
data_source=1, no Table-4a SAP code) had sap_main_heating_code=None, so
`_table_12a_system_for_main` fell through the 211-227/521-524 code-range
gate to None → the "100% off-peak low-rate" fallback. On a Dual meter
(RdSAP §12 Rule 3 routes heat pumps to the 10-hour tariff) this billed
space heating at 7.50 p/kWh instead of the SAP 10.2 Table 12a Grid 1
(PDF p.191) ASHP/GSHP-from-database row: 0.80 high-rate fraction →
0.80×14.68 + 0.20×7.50 = 13.244 p/kWh. The collapse over-credited the
whole cat-4 heat-pump cluster.
Fix: route any main with a PCDB heat-pump record to ASHP_APP_N regardless
of SAP code (a Table 362 record IS an Appendix-N heat pump by
definition). ASHP_APP_N and GSHP_APP_N share the 0.80 SH fraction at

Electric storage heaters (and CPSU) charge overnight and cannot run
economically on a single rate, so their presence is physical evidence the
dwelling is on an off-peak tariff. RdSAP 10 §12 (PDF p.62) applied Rules
1-4 only for a Dual meter; an "Unknown" (code 3) meter returned STANDARD
without consulting the heating type, so a cat-7 storage main billed its
overnight charge at the standard 13.19 p/kWh instead of the 7-hour low
rate (5.50 p/kWh) — ~2.4x too high → large under-rate.
Two coupled fixes:
- `rdsap_tariff_for_cert`: for an Unknown meter, infer the off-peak tariff
from a Rule-1 CPSU (→10-hour) or Rule-2 storage (→7-hour) main; keep
STANDARD otherwise. Direct-acting/room heaters/heat pumps (Rule 3) are
NOT off-peak evidence (run on demand, exist on single-rate meters) so
they stay STANDARD — billing them 100% at the low rate over-credits.
- `_fuel_cost` now resolves its tariff via the §12-aware `_rdsap_tariff`
(not the raw `tariff_from_meter_type`), so the off-peak branch fires for
these storage certs and the legacy scalar fields bill the low rate.
Mirrors `_is_off_peak_meter`'s existing Unknown+electric heuristic (which
already routes HW/secondary off-peak), closing the main-space-heating gap.

The main pitched/flat roof U-value was derived from the JOINED text of
every roofs[] entry. A room-in-roof carries its own §3.9/§3.10 shell
area + U-value cascade (Table 17 / Table 18 col 4), so a multi-roof cert
lodged "Pitched, insulated (assumed) | Roof room(s), no insulation
(assumed)" leaked the RR's "no insulation" marker into the main roof's
u_roof → U=2.30 applied to the WHOLE main roof, ~3x over-stating its heat
loss. This is the 4700-family regular-roof-U leak.
`_joined_main_roof_descriptions` drops "Roof room(s)" entries before the
main-roof u_roof, falling back to the unfiltered join only for pure-RR

A floor lodged API floor_heat_loss=6 ("another dwelling below") sits over
another heated dwelling, so it is a party floor with no heat loss (RdSAP
10 §3). The mapper mapped code 6 → None and the heat-transmission step
drove floor exposure solely from the dwelling-level `has_exposed_floor`
flag — which is keyed only on the dwelling_type label and defaults a
"Ground-floor flat" to an exposed floor. So a ground-floor flat above a
basement dwelling kept its full ground-floor heat-loss area.
Map code 6 → "(another dwelling below)" (still != "Ground floor", so the
§5 (12) suspended-timber rule stays inert) and have the cascade suppress
that BP's floor when its floor_type carries the signal, mirroring the

The 2026 API sample raised UnmappedApiCode on `gable_wall_type` 2 (10 certs)
and 3 (4 certs) — the two RR gable variants beyond Party(0)/Exposed(1).
Sim case 21 (an Elmhurst replica of API cert 2818-3053-3203-2655-9204:
gable_wall_type_1=2, gable_wall_type_2=3) lodges them as "Sheltered" and
"Connected", confirming **2=Sheltered, 3=Connected**.
- Mapper: `_API_TYPE_1_GABLE_TYPE_TO_KIND` gains 2 → `gable_wall_sheltered`,
3 → `connected_wall` (U=0, area deducts — already handled).
- Calculator: new `gable_wall_sheltered` branch. The API path lodges no
per-gable U, so the cascade DERIVES it as RdSAP 10 Table 4 (p.22)
Sheltered = 1/(1/U_wall + 0.5) — back-solved + validated against case 21
(U_wall 1.10 → 0.71) and case 20 (1.70 → 0.92). A lodged U (Summary path)
still rides through as an override.
API sample: 14 raises clear → `computed` 882 → 896, `raise:ValueError` 16 → 2.
Summary path unchanged (Sheltered stays `gable_wall_external` + lodged U, so
cert 000487's hand-built fixture is untouched). 2861 pass (lone
test_total_floor_area pre-existing); pyright strict net-zero (32=32 / 12=12).
NOTE: the derived Sheltered U on cert 2818 lands at 0.92 not 0.71 because the
cascade computes its 440 mm solid-brick wall U as 1.70 (the 220 mm default) —
a SEPARATE wall-U-vs-thickness bug (next slice, validated by case 21's 1.10).

Locks sim case 20 (storage heaters + Detailed RR + loose-jacket cylinder)
as a golden vector: _elmhurst_worksheet_001431_case20.build_epc() routes the
Summary PDF through extractor → mapper → calculator, registered in
test_e2e_elmhurst_sap_score with all 11 SapResult headline pins at 1e-4.
10 pinned exact off slices 1-2 (window extractor, RR stud walls); this slice
closes the last one, co2_kg_per_yr (was 3797.62 vs (272) 3815.4060).
Root cause: on a dual-rate (E7) meter the CO2 path ignored the tariff's
high/low Table-12 electricity codes that the cost path already uses:
- Secondary (direct-acting portable heaters, on-peak) keyed the monthly
Table 12d cascade on standard code 30 (0.15405) instead of the E7 HIGH
code 32 → (263) 0.1616. SAP 10.2 Table 12a Grid 1 direct-acting electric
is 100% high-rate; mirrors the cost side billing it at 15.29 p/kWh.
- Main storage heaters fell through `_table_12a_system_for_main`=None to
the FLAT annual factor (0.136) rather than the dual-rate LOW code: per
the Table 12a design intent ("storage … 100% low rate") they charge
off-peak → E7 LOW code 31 → (261) 0.1357.
case-20 co2 now EXACT. 2433 calculator + 112 golden + documents_parser tests
pass — no dual-meter/storage cohort regression; pyright strict net-zero (32=32).

The fuel codes the calculator now puts on SapResult are its own codes — raw
gov-API enums or already-Table-32, depending on the source mapper (ADR-0015).
sap_code_to_fuel now runs the code through table_32.to_table_32_code
(promoted from private _to_table_32_code) — T32-first, then API-translate,
the SAME normalization the calculator's pricing/CO2 helpers use — before the
Table-32 -> Fuel dispatch, so the bill's carrier matches what the calculator
billed (incl. the API/T32 collision codes, e.g. 20 = wood-logs not heat-net).
Falls back to the raw code for billing fuels the price table omits (the 41-58
heat-network range), which resolve to HEAT_NETWORK -> UnpricedFuel — stricter
than, and intentionally divergent from, the calculator's lossy
default-to-mains-gas for an unpriced code (ADR-0014 §5).

ADR-0014 BillDerivation attributes each end-use (HEATING / HOT_WATER /
SECONDARY / APPLIANCES / COOKING) to a fuel carrier and credits PV
export. SapResult already carried the per-end-use kWh but not WHICH
fuel each end-use burns, nor the annual exported kWh — so a downstream
SapResult->EnergyBreakdown adapter could not pick the right tariff.
Surfaces five output-only fields, threaded exactly like the recently
merged appliances/cooking change (2f039aeb):
main_heating_fuel_code RdSAP10 Table 32 / SAP 10.2 Table 12 fuel
main_2_heating_fuel_code code column (the lodged fuel code, e.g.
secondary_heating_fuel_code mains gas 26). None when the corresponding
hot_water_fuel_code system is absent / fuel not resolvable.
pv_exported_kwh_per_yr SAP 10.2 Appendix M1 §3-4 annual export kWh
(0.0 when no PV).
cert_to_inputs.py populates the four fuel codes from the existing
resolvers the cost/CO2 cascade already uses — `_main_fuel_code`,
`_secondary_fuel_code`, `_water_heating_fuel_code` (not reinvented);
Main 2 is the second `main_heating_details` entry, guarded for length.
There is a single CalculatorInputs construction site (cert_to_demand_
inputs delegates to cert_to_inputs). `pv_exported_kwh_per_yr` already
existed on CalculatorInputs; SapResult collapses its Optional to 0.0.
HARD CONSTRAINT honoured — output-only, zero rating drift. These fields
do NOT feed ECF / total_fuel_cost_gbp / co2_kg_per_yr / primary_energy_*
/ sap_score / any monthly value. Every golden-fixture, Elmhurst e2e
SapResult pin, section cascade pin, and heating-corpus residual stays
byte-identical: calculator suite 1658 -> 1661 passed (+3 new tests),
4 skipped, 0 failed before and after. pyright net-zero (51 -> 51 in
domain/; no new errors in the touched test files).
New tests: a synthetic threading test (four fuel codes + PV export pass
unchanged through calculate_sap_from_inputs; None PV collapses to 0.0)
and a cert-level pin (mains-gas combi cert 000516 -> main fuel code 26,
no Main 2, secondary 30, HW 26). Synthetic CalculatorInputs / SapResult
fixtures updated for the new SapResult fields (defaults cover Inputs).

PR feedback (dancafc): the SQLModel column was Optional[str], but the
domain `SapBuildingPart.wall_insulation_thickness` is Optional[Union[str,
int]] — `_api_resolve_wall_insulation_thickness` returns an int mm when the
API lodges `wall_insulation_thickness == "measured"` (SAP 10.2 §5.7 /
Table 8). The plain str column round-trips that int back as the string
"100", corrupting the Table 8 insulated-wall U-value lookup.
This column was missed in the round-trip-fidelity §1 JSONB sweep
(#1129) — its `Union[str, int]` sibling `roof_insulation_thickness` was
converted, but `wall_insulation_thickness` was not, and no 21.0.0/21.0.1
fixture lodges "measured" so the gap stayed latent. Convert to JSONB
(matching `roof_insulation_thickness` / `flat_roof_insulation_thickness`),
align the column type to Optional[Union[str, int]] (also removes a pyright
type-mismatch), record it in the migration doc §1, and add a round-trip
guard test asserting an int survives as an int (fails as '100' == 100 on
the old str column).

SAP 10.2 Appendix G4 (PDF p.72-73). A PV diverter routes surplus PV
generation (the would-be export EPV,m × (1 − βm)) to an immersion heater
in the hot-water cylinder. Per G4 step 4:
SPV,diverter,m = EPV,m × (1 − βm) × 0.8 × fPV,diverter,storageloss
(0.8 = cylinder heat-acceptance; fPV,diverter,storageloss = 0.9 for the
higher storage temperature), clamped to ≤ (62)m + (63a)m, and entered as
the negative worksheet (63b)m (step 5). The β factor is computed on the
PRE-diverter (219) per the §3a note (lines 5485-5486). Effects:
- (64)m = (62)m + (63b)m → less main-system water-heating fuel (219);
- export drops to EPV,ex,m = EPV,m(1 − βm) + (63b)m / 0.9 (§4 p.94
line 5501); the onsite dwelling portion EPV,m × βm is unchanged.
Inclusion (G4 step 1) requires ALL of: a PV system connected to the
dwelling; a cylinder larger than (43) average daily HW use; no solar
water heating; no battery — else the diverter is disregarded.
Three layers:
- extractor reads Summary §19 "Diverter present"; schema 21.0.0/21.0.1
SapEnergySource gains `pv_diverter` (API `sap_energy_source.pv_diverter`);
- `Renewables.pv_diverter_present` + domain `SapEnergySource.pv_diverter_present`,
set in both the Elmhurst and API mapper paths;
- `_pv_diverter_monthly_kwh` applies the G4 math after the β split;
`cert_to_inputs` recomputes (219) and the PV export.
On simulated case 19 (electric storage heaters, 7-hour, PV + diverter):
SAP continuous 50.33 → 51.34 (worksheet 51.2221; both round to the
lodged 51), cost (255) 1847.5 → 1812.3 (ws 1816.6), CO2 (272) 3331 →
3120 (ws 3126), with (233a) dwelling 1280.6 (ws 1280.4). The residual
+0.11 SAP is an upstream winter Appendix-M monthly-EPV-shape gap +
fabric (33) +1.0, tracked as the next case-19 cause. Suite: 2412 pass.

SAP 10.2 Appendix M1 §6 (PDF p.94, lines 5510-5513): "apply the normal
import electricity price to PV energy used within the dwelling and the
'electricity sold to grid, PV' price from Table 12 to the energy
exported. In the case of the former, use a weighted average of high and
low rates (Table 12a)."
`_pv_dwelling_import_price_gbp_per_kwh` was returning the bare off-peak
LOW rate (5.50 p/kWh on a 7-hour tariff) for the PV-used-in-dwelling
credit. PV self-consumption displaces the dwelling's "all other uses"
electricity (lighting / appliances / pumps), which on an off-peak tariff
bills at the Table 12a Grid 2 ALL_OTHER_USES weighted blend, not the low
rate. On simulated case 19 the worksheet (252)/(269) credits
PV-used-in-dwelling at 14.3110 p/kWh = 0.90 × 15.29 + 0.10 × 5.50; we
credited it at 5.50, under-crediting onsite PV by ~£0.088/kWh on every
off-peak PV cert.
Fix delegates to `_other_fuel_cost_gbp_per_kwh(tariff, prices)` (the same
ALL_OTHER_USES rate): STANDARD tariff still returns the flat Table 32
code 30 13.19 p/kWh (golden cohort unchanged — all 2412 tests pass);
off-peak returns the weighted high/low blend. Call sites now pass the
resolved `_rdsap_tariff(epc)`. The now-unused
`_off_peak_low_rate_gbp_per_kwh_via_meter_heuristic` (its only caller)
is removed.

SAP 10.2 Appendix M1 §3a (PDF p.93, lines 5470-5476): "E_space,m =
(211)m + (213)m + (215)m, where (211), (213) and/or (215) should be
included only where the fuel code applied to them in Section 10a of the
SAP worksheet is 30, 32, 34, 35 or 38 (i.e. electricity not at the
low-rate)."
The PV-eligible demand D_PV,m was adding 100% of the main space-heating
fuel (211)m whenever the main's Table-12 code was in the eligible set
(30, …), ignoring the off-peak high/low split that §10a already bills
via `_space_heating_fuel_cost_gbp_per_kwh`. Electric STORAGE heaters on
a 7-hour tariff are charged wholly at the low rate (Table 12a Grid 1 SH
fraction 0.00; worksheet (240) high-rate cost = 0), so none of (211)
may enter D_PV — but the cascade counted it all, inflating R_PV,m =
E_PV,m / D_PV,m and therefore the β onsite-PV split in the heating
months.
Fix mirrors the cost-side rate split: `_main_space_heating_high_rate_
fraction(main, tariff)` returns the high-rate portion (1.0 for
non-electric / STANDARD, the published Grid 1 SH fraction otherwise,
0.0 when the Grid 1 SH row is unwired → 100% low rate), and
`_pv_eligible_demand_monthly_kwh` scales the (211)m contribution by it.
Backward-compatible: STANDARD-tariff electric mains and the gas-main /
electric-secondary PV cohort are unchanged (fraction 1.0).
On simulated case 19 (electric storage heaters, 7-hour, PV) this takes
β_Jan 0.894 → 0.792, matching the worksheet 0.791, and the summer months
(no main heating) already pinned exactly.

The gov-EPC API mapper sets BOTH roof_construction (int) and
roof_construction_type (str, derived via _API_ROOF_CONSTRUCTION_TO_STR),
but the Elmhurst mapper set only the string — leaving roof_construction
None on every site-notes cert. The SAP cascade reads the STRING (so SAP
cross-mapper parity always held), but consumers of the int (e.g.
domain/sap10_ml/transform.py ML aggregates `main_dwelling_roof_
construction`) silently saw None on the Elmhurst path.
New `_elmhurst_roof_construction_int` maps the Elmhurst roof-type code to
the same SAP10 int the API lodges (F→1, PN→3, PA→4, PS→8, S/A→7),
harvested from the committed Summary fixtures. Unlike the wall map it
returns None (not a strict-raise) for unmapped codes: the int is not
cascade-load-bearing, so an unknown roof must not block the cert (vaulted
5 / thatched 6 / NR omitted until a fixture surfaces them).
The 6 hand-built U985 reference fixtures gain the matching
roof_construction int (4/4/3 etc.) so test_from_elmhurst_site_notes_
matches_hand_built_* still asserts structural parity. SAP output is
unchanged (cascade reads the string). §4 suite green (2407 passed); the
two pre-existing stone-§5.6 sap10_ml failures are unrelated/out of scope.

RdSAP 10 §12 (PDF p.62) Dual-meter dispatch: "the choice between 7-hour
and 10-hour is made by the main heating type ... if the main system is a
direct-acting electric boiler (191), or electric room heaters ... it is
10-hour tariff." The electric room-heater codes — Table 4a 691 (panel/
convector/radiant), 692 (fan), 693 (portable), 694 (water-/oil-filled),
699 (assumed) — were missing from `_RULE_3_TEN_HOUR_CODES` (the long-
standing TODO there), so a Dual-meter room-heater cert fell through to
Rule 4 (7-hour default).
Compounded with S0380.230 (which routes room heaters to Table 12a
OTHER_DIRECT_ACTING_ELECTRIC): at 7-hour the high-rate fraction is 1.00
(all at 15.29 p), but at the correct 10-hour it is 0.50 split over the
10-hour rates (14.68 / 7.50 p) → blended ~11 p. Without this fix .230

SAP 10.2 Table 12a Grid 1 (PDF p.191): an electric room heater (RdSAP
main_heating_category 10, e.g. SAP code 691) is direct-acting electric,
so it sits on the "Other systems including direct-acting electric" row —
7-hour high-rate fraction 1.00, 10-hour 0.50. It runs on demand, mostly
at the HIGH rate; it does NOT earn the 100%-low-rate of overnight storage
charging (which is category 7).
`_table_12a_system_for_main` only mapped ASHP, so an electric room heater
fell through to the "100% low-rate" fallback (5.50 p, £0.0550), under-
charging space heating by ~9.79 p/kWh and systematically OVER-rating the
cluster. Now maps electric cat-10 mains to OTHER_DIRECT_ACTING_ELECTRIC
(gated on `_is_electric_main`, so gas/solid-fuel cat-10 room heaters are
excluded). The same Table 12a fraction flows through cost, CO2 (Table
12d) and PE (Table 12e) — all three callers already pre-gate on electric.
Mirror of S0380.228 (same fallback bug for electric SECONDARY heating).

RdSAP10 `wall_construction == 6` is canonically WALL_SYSTEM_BUILT — a
WALL TYPE — but the gov-EPC basement heuristic hijacked it: Elmhurst
lodges both "SY System build" and "B Basement wall" as code 6, and the
API lodges basements as code 6 too, so a system-built wall was
mis-flagged `main_wall_is_basement` → wrong RdSAP §5.17 / Table 23
u_basement_wall/u_basement_floor overrides, and downstream the solid-wall
Recommendation Generator couldn't offer EWI/IWI on system-built walls.
System-built stays the wall type on its canonical code 6; the basement
signal moves OFF code 6 to a dedicated `is_basement` (SapAlternativeWall)
/ `wall_is_basement` (SapBuildingPart) Optional[bool] flag:
- Elmhurst: `_elmhurst_wall_is_basement` sets it from the distinct
"SY"/"B" labels (False for SY, True for B, None otherwise).
- gov-EPC API: per-wall code 6 can't be told apart at lodging time, so
`from_api_response` post-processes via `_clear_basement_flag_when_
system_built` — when the cert addendum marks the dwelling system-built,
the code-6 basement heuristic is cleared. A genuine basement (no
addendum signal) keeps the code-6 fallback.
- `main_wall_is_basement` / `is_basement_wall` honour the flag when set,
else fall back to the code-6 heuristic — so untouched API basements and
the cert 000565 "B" cohort are unchanged.
`EpcPropertyData.system_build` is a derived property over the wall type:
the MAIN wall is system-built iff `wall_construction == 6` and it is not
flagged basement. System-built lives on `wall_construction`; the basement
attribute is separate.
Acceptance: a system-built main wall (Elmhurst SY, or API addendum
system_build) → wall_construction == 6, main_wall_is_basement is False,
system_build is True; a genuine basement main wall → main_wall_is_basement
is True, system_build is False. Full §4 suite green (2404 passed).

SAP 10.2 Table 3 (PDF p.160) row 1: 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 Table
4a hot-water-only codes (PDF p.166) 911 gas / 912 liquid / 913 solid
boiler-circulator + 921-931 range cooker with boiler are each a heat
generator feeding the cylinder through a primary loop.
`_primary_loss_applies` keyed only off the resolved DHW `main` — but for
these certs `_water_heating_main` returns the SPACE main (e.g. electric
storage heaters, SAP code 402, which has no primary loop), so every
boiler branch missed the gas water-boiler's primary circuit and (59)m
went to zero. New branch keys off `water_heating_code` ∈
`_WATER_HEATING_BOILER_CIRCULATOR_CODES`. 941 (electric HP for water

SAP 10.2 Table 12a Grid 1 (PDF p.191): secondary heating is a direct-
acting electric room heater (RdSAP 10 §A.2.2 default), on the "Other
systems including direct-acting electric" row — 7-hour high-rate fraction
1.00, 10-hour 0.50. A room heater runs on demand, mostly at the high
rate; it does NOT earn the 100%-low-rate of overnight storage charging.
`_secondary_fuel_cost_gbp_per_kwh` previously returned the flat off-peak
LOW rate (5.50 p, £0.0550) for every off-peak electric secondary, under-
charging by 9.79 p/kWh. New `_secondary_off_peak_rate_gbp_per_kwh` mirrors
`_space_heating_fuel_cost_gbp_per_kwh`: it blends the Table 12a high-rate
fraction (OTHER_DIRECT_ACTING_ELECTRIC) against the Table 32 high/low
rates, with the 18-/24-hour fallback to the low rate.
Simulated case 19 (electric storage main + electric secondary, Dual/7-hour
meter) is the worksheet case (242): "Space heating - secondary
(1.00*15.29 + 0.00*5.50)" → 15.29 p/kWh = £0.1529. This was the primary
cat-7-cluster cost driver: total cost 1485.68 → 1835.53 (worksheet

SAP 10.2 Table 2b note b (PDF p.159) applies the ×0.9 temperature-factor
reduction only when DHW is "separately timed" relative to space heating
on a SHARED heat generator ("boiler systems, warm air systems and heat
pump systems"). Per RdSAP 10 §10.5.1 (PDF p.55) a separate boiler/
circulator providing DHW only (water-heating code 911 = "Gas boiler/
circulator for water heating only") is NOT the main space-heating system
— so there is no shared timer to apply the ×0.9 against. `_separately_
timed_dhw` now returns False when water_heating_code is not "from main /
2nd-main system" ({901,902,914}), mirroring the existing WHC 903 electric-
immersion carve-out.
Simulated case 19 (electric storage main SAP 402 + WHS 911 + 210 L
loose-jacket cylinder) is the worksheet case. The single flag drives both:
- (53) Temperature factor: 0.54 → 0.6000 (worksheet base, no ×0.9)
- (55) storage loss/day: → 3.4531; (56)/(57)m Jan → 107.0456 (1e-4)
- (59)m primary loss: h=3 (43.31) → h=5 (Jan 64.5792), worksheet-exact

Table 2 Note 1 gives loose jacket a SEPARATE, ~2× higher loss factor
(L = 0.005 + 1.76/(t+12.8) vs factory 0.005 + 0.55/(t+4)); the
cylinder_storage_loss_factor_table_2 helper already implements it — only
the dispatch was missing.
Fix: a `_cylinder_storage_loss_insulation_label` resolver maps the lodged
code to the Table 2 branch (1 → factory_insulated, 2 → loose_jacket;
None/0/unknown → None, keeping the conservative no-loss default). The
override and the HW storage call now route through it instead of
hardcoding "factory_insulated".
Evidence + validation: a random 2026 register sample has 22 loose-jacket
certs that over-predicted SAP by +2.29 mean (18/22 too high, 1/22 within
0.5) — the exact signature of under-counted HW storage loss. After the
fix their mean error collapses to +0.45 and 11/22 land within 0.5, with
ZERO regression across the worksheet-validated cohort (§4 + golden suite
2394 passed — no validated cert lodges loose jacket, so none shifts).
Also unblocks the §10.7 A-F no-water-heating default (next slice) which
needs the loose-jacket branch. cert_to_inputs.py pyright unchanged at 32.

Adds the user-simulated 001431 case (the cert that drove S0380.189/.190)
as an Elmhurst-only e2e fixture: Summary PDF → extractor → mapper →
calculator, every Block-1 SapResult field pinned against the
P960-0001-001431 worksheet at abs=1e-4. All 11 pins pass with zero
residual — the case is clean, confirming the S0380.190 gas-combi fuel
derivation closes the Summary path natively.
Verified the handover's flagged "+0.0007 SAP" was a target artifact, not
a cascade gap: the worksheet displays ECF (257) rounded to 1.6047 and
integer SAP (258)=78; the cascade's continuous SAP is computed from the
UNROUNDED ECF = (255)*(256)/((4)+45) = 660.9750*0.4200/173.0, giving
77.6147 — which matches the worksheet's own unrounded value. Pinning the
continuous SAP from the display-rounded ECF (→ 77.6144) was the wrong
target. Block-1 line refs all match exactly: (211) 10699.7225, (219)
3327.1592, (231) 86.0, (232) 283.2229, (255) 660.9750, (272) 3000.1664,
Σ(98) 8987.7669.
Summary mirrored into the tracked fixtures dir as
Summary_001431_gas_combi.pdf (distinct name — the corpus reuses cert
001431 across every heating variant); source Summary + worksheet tracked
under sap worksheets/golden fixture debugging/ as the pin ground truth.
2302 passed (+11), 0 failed; pyright net-zero on new/changed files.

The newer Elmhurst Summary export lodges a gas combi as §14.0 "Fuel Type"
empty + "Main Heating SAP Code" 104 (EES "BGW"), with no fuel string. The
site-notes mapper left `main_fuel_type=''`, so `cert_to_inputs` raised
`MissingMainFuelType` — blocking the whole gas-combi Summary path
(reproduced on the simulated 001431 case).
SAP 10.2 Table 4b (PDF p.168) rows 101-119 are "Gas boilers (including
mains gas, LPG and biogas)": the code fixes the boiler type/efficiency but
NOT the carrier, so 104 alone can't distinguish mains gas from LPG. The
disambiguator is §15.0 "Water Heating Fuel Type" — a combi/boiler heats
space + water from one appliance — exactly mirroring the existing
liquid-fuel (codes 120-141) fallback. `_elmhurst_gas_boiler_main_fuel`
adopts the §15.0 carrier only when the SAP code is in 101-119 AND §15.0
resolves to a gas/LPG fuel, so a regular boiler + electric immersion
(§15.0 = "Electricity") still strict-raises rather than mis-billing gas
as electric.
2291 passed (+1), 0 failed; pyright net-zero on both files.
