Khalim Conn-Kowlessar 15613309df slice S-B24: parse measured U from full-SAP wall description
Full SAP assessments (~15% of corpus, 4 403 of 30 000 scanned bulk-zip
certs) lodge a measured/calculated wall U-value per BS EN ISO 6946 in
walls[i].description, e.g. "Average thermal transmittance 0.18 W/m²K".
These certs typically have wall_construction, wall_insulation_type and
construction_age_band all None, which the cascade defaults previously
resolved to U = 1.5 (uninsulated cavity at band E). RdSAP 10 §5.3:
"U values are obtained from … the construction type, date of
construction and, where applicable, thickness of additional insulation"
— but a measured value supersedes the cascade.

Corpus U-value distribution among parsed:
  median 0.21, mean 0.225, range 0.06-1.84
  80% at U ≈ 0.2 (Part L-compliant new-builds)
  10% at U ≈ 0.1 (passivhaus / very low)
  7%  at U ≈ 0.3 (older retrofitted full-SAP)
  3%  in the tail (conversions, edge cases)

Per affected cert (100 m² new-build at U 1.5 → 0.21):
  walls_w_per_k drops 129 → 21 W/K
  PEUI drops ≈ 120 kWh/m²

Implementation:
- _measured_u_from_description() regex-parses the phrase from the wall
  description; returns None on no-match or non-numeric so the cascade
  fall-through is preserved.
- u_wall checks the measured value FIRST, before any cascade logic.
- No range cap — calculator mirrors what the assessor lodged, per the
  "deterministic except for input errors" principle. Parse failure
  falls through cleanly.

Parity probe at 300 certs, seed=7: headlines unchanged. Direct check
on the sample: 0/300 certs carry an "Average thermal transmittance"
description. The v18a parquet filters full-SAP certs out somewhere
upstream, so this slice is invisible in the parquet-based probe. The
slice's correctness is proved by:
- 4 unit tests in test_rdsap_uvalues.py (tracer + regression on
  ordinary descriptions + parse-failure fallback + filled-cavity
  description still routes correctly)
- 1 end-to-end test in test_heat_transmission.py exercising a
  synthetic full-SAP cert through heat_transmission_from_cert
- All 274 domain tests passing, no regressions

Follow-up tooling: a bulk-zip-based parity probe that doesn't filter
to the parquet's subset is needed to measure this slice's corpus
impact. Separate dig.

Model Repository

This repository contains the code pertaining to the development of the data science and machine learning products being utilised by Hestia.

The different folders in this repository relate to services that can be used independently, or can be imported and used as part of a larger application

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Dev Container Setup

This repo uses a Docker Compose-based dev container. The model-backend service joins a shared-dev Docker network so it can communicate with other local services (e.g. a frontend container) running on your machine.

VS Code users: The initializeCommand in devcontainer.json creates the shared-dev network automatically before the container starts. No manual step required — just open the repo and select Reopen in Container.

Non-VS Code / CI workflows: Run the following once before starting the container:

make dev-setup

This is idempotent and safe to re-run if the network already exists.

Folders

backend/

This folder contains the code for the fastapi backend service, which provides an interface to much of the functionality in this repository, for the frontend

model_data/

This folder contains related to the reading and preparation of assessment model data, including pulling out epc attributes

Testing

All tests can be run, against the configuration in pytest.ini running

pytest

This will run the complete panel of tests and report on coverage in the locations specified by the pytest.ini file.

To run tests in a specific service, e.g. inside of model_data, simply run

pytest --cov-config=model_data/.coveragerc --cov=model_data

This will produce the test results and coverage reports
