Table 5 reads "Number of extract fans if known; if number is unknown:
[age-band default]" — the default is an UNKNOWN-fallback, NOT a floor. The
cascade applied `max(lodged, table_5_default)`, flooring a genuinely-lodged
count up to the age-band minimum: e.g. an age H-M dwelling lodging 2 extract
fans was billed at the 6-8-room default of 3, over-counting ventilation line
(8) and the heat-loss coefficient. Fixed to `lodged if lodged > 0 else
default` (a lodged 0 is the Elmhurst/RdSAP "unknown" form → default; any
positive count is taken literally).
Surfaced by Khalim's Elmhurst stress worksheet (simulated case 46): this was
its last ventilation residual — our Jan effective ACH 9.14 -> 9.0748 (exact
match to the accredited worksheet), SAP 29 -> 30 = Elmhurst, cost £1496 vs
£1493. Corpus IMPROVED: within-0.5 71.6% -> 72.5%, MAE 0.819 -> 0.815 (the
max-flooring over-counted ventilation on every cert lodging fans below its
age default). Floor ratcheted 0.71 -> 0.72. pyright not installed locally.

When the main heating system does not heat every habitable room (heated rooms
< habitable rooms), SAP 10.2 Appendix A.2.2 assumes the unheated rooms are
served by a portable-electric secondary heater, so the Table 11 secondary
fraction (0.10 for a boiler main) must be costed at the electricity tariff —
even when the cert lodges no explicit secondary system.
`_secondary_fraction` previously returned 0 unless a secondary was lodged or
the main was a forced-secondary electric-storage code, dropping the assumed
secondary and billing 100% of space heat to the (cheaper) main fuel — an
over-rate. Added an `unheated_habitable_rooms` trigger plus
`_has_unheated_habitable_rooms(epc)`, which prefers the lodged
`any_unheated_rooms` flag and guards the gov-API `heated_rooms_count == 0`
"not provided" sentinel. The secondary fuel/efficiency cascade already
defaults to portable electric (code 693) when no secondary code is lodged.
Worksheet-validated on simulated case 46 (heated 4 < habitable 7, no lodged
secondary): the assumed 10% electric secondary (2289 kWh, ~£260) lifted our
SAP 39 -> 29.35 vs accredited Elmhurst 30 (cost £1502 vs £1493, within 0.6%).
Corpus UNCHANGED (71.6% / MAE 0.819): all 17 corpus certs with heated <
habitable already lodge an explicit secondary description, so the gov-API
path was already costing it; this only adds the assumed secondary where none
is lodged (Elmhurst / reduced-field path). pyright not installed locally.

The SAP rating is spec-floored at 1 ("if the result of the calculation is
less than 1, the rating is 1"). `sap_rating_integer` already clamps, but the
continuous `sap_score_continuous` did not — so a degenerate dwelling could
emit a physically impossible negative SAP. Apply the same max(1, …) floor to
the continuous value (the un-rounded part is for sensitivity near real
ratings, not for negative ratings).
Removes a -12.3 accuracy outlier on the committed corpus (cert 422000111926,
lodged at the floor of 1, was computing -11.3): within-0.5 70.2% -> 70.3%,
MAE 0.845 -> 0.833. Ratcheted the corpus MAE ceiling to 0.84. Unit-pinned in
test_calculator.

The gov-API lodges secondary fuel as an enum whose value can COLLIDE with a
different same-valued RdSAP 10 Table 32 / SAP 10.2 Table 12 fuel code:
- enum 9 = "dual fuel (mineral and wood)" vs Table code 9 = LPG SC11F
- enum 5 = "anthracite" vs Table code 5 = LPG (bulk)
The main-fuel boundary already canonicalises these (`_GOV_API_COLLISION_
FUELS`), but the SECONDARY-heating cost + CO2/PE paths never did — they took
the bare same-value lookup, so a dual-fuel room heater was priced as LPG
(3.48 vs dual-fuel 3.99 p/kWh) and emitted as LPG (CO2 0.241 vs 0.087),
and an anthracite secondary as bulk LPG (12.19 vs 3.64 p/kWh). The price
under-count over-rates SAP; the CO2 over-count inflates emissions.
Fix: add enum 9 to `_GOV_API_COLLISION_FUELS` (5 and 33 were already there)
and canonicalise the secondary fuel code on both the cost
(`_secondary_fuel_cost_gbp_per_kwh`) and factor (`_secondary_fuel_code`)
paths, mirroring the main-fuel boundary. canonical_fuel_code only touches
{5,9,33}, so genuinely Table-coded secondaries (House coal 11, wood logs 20,
community fuels 30-32) are left unchanged — confirmed by a full-map audit.
Corpus: within-0.5 69.7% -> 70.2% (MAE 0.854 -> 0.845; dual-fuel-secondary
cohort 42.9% -> 49.0%, signed +0.55 -> +0.41) and CO2 MAE 0.12 -> 0.08 t/yr
(bias +0.04 -> 0.00). Ratcheted the corpus floors (within 0.70, MAE 0.85,
CO2 0.09, PE 4.0). A prior session deferred enum 9 ("direction not
understood") while the EPC PE/CO2 lens was confounded by the climate-cascade
bug (fc7c4d2d); on the corrected lens the over-rate direction is clear.

The SAP/EI rating is computed on UK-average weather (Appendix U Tables
U1-U3 region 0) so ratings are nationally comparable, but Appendix U
paragraph 1 (PDF p.124) requires that "other calculations (such as for
energy use and costs on EPCs) are done using local weather. Weather data
for each postcode district are taken from the PCDB". `Sap10Calculator.
calculate` ran ONE cascade (UK-average) and fed it to SAP, CO2 AND primary
energy, so every cert's EPC-displayed CO2/PE were computed on the wrong
climate. Because most of England is warmer than the UK-average, this
systematically OVER-counted heating demand on the emissions/PE outputs.
The two cascades (`cert_to_inputs` rating, `cert_to_demand_inputs`
postcode) already existed; this wires the demand cascade into the
production entry point and grafts its CO2/PE onto the rating result (SAP
unchanged). The corpus gauge's longstanding +5% CO2/PE over-estimate was
mostly this climate bug, NOT (as previously diagnosed) per-cert mapper
fidelity:
CO2 MAE 0.26 -> 0.12 t/yr (bias +0.18 -> +0.04)
PE MAE 13.6 -> 3.8 kWh/m2 (bias +9.0 -> +0.24)
SAP within-0.5 = 69.7% (rating cascade, unchanged)
Worksheet-validated to 1e-4 on simulated case 45 (heat-pump ground-floor
flat, postcode W6): the P960 prints the current dwelling twice — Block 1
on UK-average weather (SAP 60.5318, CO2 692.13) and Block 2 on postcode
weather (CO2 626.78, PE 6581.59). Both reproduce exactly. Added a tracked
case-45 Summary fixture + two-cascade cascade pin as a permanent guard,
and ratcheted the corpus CO2/PE ceilings to 0.13 / 4.2. The e2e Elmhurst
suite (Block-1 line refs) now pins the rating cascade directly; the two
Vaillant overlay snapshots refreshed to demand-cascade CO2/PE.

When a heat-pump cert lodges a PCDB Table 362 record, the APM override
set BOTH the space efficiency (N3.6) and the water efficiency (N3.7a)
from the heat pump unconditionally. But the PCDB η_water applies only
when the DHW is heated BY the heat pump (water-heating code "from main":
901/902/914). A separate electric immersion (WHC 903) heats the water at
100% regardless of the space system, so applying the HP's water SCOP
(187.5% × 0.6 in-use = 112.5%) under-counted the immersion's hot-water
fuel.
Gate the η_water override on the DHW-from-main codes; a separate immersion
keeps its own 100% efficiency. Space η_space still always uses the APM
value (the heat pump is the space main).
Worksheet-validated to 1e-4 on simulated case 45 (HP space + WHC-903
immersion): water fuel (62) 1893.57 -> 2130.2639, total cost (255)
619.7433, CO2 692.13 — all matching the P960 exactly; SAP 60.53 -> rounds
to the worksheet's 61. RdSAP-21.0.1 corpus unchanged (no HP+WHC903 certs
in it). Pinned in test_cert_to_inputs (immersion fuel is main-independent).

The flat floor-exposure heuristic keys on dwelling_type: a flat defaults
to has_exposed_floor=False (assuming a heated dwelling below). The
Elmhurst Summary path lodges a ground-floor flat's vertical position as a
"Ground floor" floor_type rather than the API floor_heat_loss=1 exposed
code, and the mapper can label such a flat "Top-floor flat" — so the
cascade dropped the ground floor entirely (a ground floor is in contact
with the ground and carries heat loss).
Treat a "ground floor" floor_type as a heat-loss floor, overriding the
dwelling-level suppression upward — mirroring the existing "another
dwelling below" party override downward.
Worksheet-validated to 1e-4 on simulated case 45 (a ground-floor flat
the mapper labelled "Top-floor flat"): floor (28a) 0 -> 25.38 W/K,
fabric (33) 75.63 -> 101.0104, HTC (39) 112.93 -> 145.3579, all matching
the P960 exactly; SAP 67.81 -> 62.52. RdSAP-21.0.1 corpus within-0.5

Adds whole-dwelling property_type/built_form to EpcSimulation (folded by
apply_simulations) and maps those override components. property_type drives
party-wall heat loss + ASHP/solar/wall eligibility, so a landlord correction now
moves both the SAP calc and the measure menu; built_form has no calculator
consumer today (feeds the ML transform). Written as the landlord text value
(park-home check is text-only). Refines ADR-0032 dec-4.

Extends WallType coverage to timber/stone/system-built/cob/park-home/curtain and
adds RoofType "Pitched, N mm loft insulation" -> roof_insulation_thickness. The
"(assumed) insulated"/"partial" wall states stay deferred (ambiguous code, needs
Elmhurst validation per ADR-0032); property_type/built_form carry no SAP weight.
