SAP 10.2 Table 12 footnote (t) (PDF p.189): "PE factors for grid
electricity vary by month. The average figure given in this table is
therefore not used directly. Instead the monthly factors given in
Table 12e should be used in the SAP worksheet." Footnote (s) says the
same for CO2 / Table 12d. Read literally, monthly factors apply to
every electric end-use including dual-rate HW.
The BRE-approved Elmhurst rdSAP engine doesn't follow that reading
for HW. The 41-variant heating-systems corpus controlled-variable
fixture lodges worksheet (278) "Water heating (low-rate cost)" with
factor **1.5010 PE / 0.136 CO2** (Table 12 annual flat) across every
dual-rate tariff cert, while applying the monthly Table 12e/12d
cascade to lighting (1.5338 winter-weighted) and secondary heating
(1.5715) on the same certs. It's an engine implementation choice,
not a documented spec exception.
Per [[feedback-software-no-special-handling]] the calculator
contract is bit-faithful replication of the engine, not literal
compliance with the spec text. This slice flips cascade
`_hot_water_primary_factor` + `_hot_water_co2_factor_kg_per_kwh` to
accept a `tariff: Tariff` parameter:
- STANDARD tariff → Table 12e/12d monthly cascade weighted
by HW demand seasonality (unchanged from
S0380.71 / .72, matches cohort-1 ASHP
standard-tariff worksheet)
- 7-hour / 10-hour /
18-hour / 24-hour → Table 12 annual flat (1.501 / 0.136)
matching the Elmhurst worksheet (278)
"Water heating (low-rate cost)" row
Per-line walk on electric 3 (18-hour tariff, electric immersion HW,
2384.116 kWh annual):
worksheet (278) factor = 1.5010
cascade pre-slice = 1.5214 delta = +0.0204
(1.5214 - 1.5010) × 2384.116 = +48.66 kWh/yr PE — EXACT match
the corpus residual pin.
Same shape for CO2: worksheet 0.1360, cascade pre-slice 0.1410,
delta +0.0050 × 2384.116 = +11.95 kg/yr.
Closures across the 18-variant deferred lighting-PE cohort
(electric 1/2/3/5/6/7/8/9 + solid fuel 4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11 + ashp +
gshp):
ΔCO2 +6.31 / +11.95 → ±0.0000 EXACT
ΔPE +25.51 / +48.66 → ±0.0000 EXACT
ΔSAP_c / Δcost unchanged at ±0.0000 EXACT (already closed
pre-slice by S0380.156..162).
All 25 cascade-OK variants in the heating-systems corpus now
SAP / cost / CO2 / PE EXACT vs worksheet on all 4 metrics, with
solid fuel 2 as the only remaining open residual (separate
S0380.154 summer-immersion-blend CO2/PE artifact — deferred).
Documented in
`domain/sap10_calculator/docs/SAP_CALCULATOR.md §8.1
"HW PE/CO2 factors on dual-rate tariffs use Table 12 annual"` —
the master doc now carries a new §8 "Elmhurst-mirrored spec
divergences" section for cases like this. Validation tally
refreshed from stale "930/930" to current "941/941".
No regressions on the 6 Elmhurst U985 fixtures (gas combi
STANDARD tariff — unaffected) or the cohort-1 ASHP certs
(STANDARD tariff — unaffected). The dual-rate gate fires only
on the 4 off-peak tariffs.
Verbatim spec quote retained for reference (SAP 10.2 Table 12
footnote (t), PDF p.189):
"PE factors for grid electricity vary by month. The average
figure given in this table is therefore not used directly.
Instead the monthly factors given in Table 12e should be used
in the SAP worksheet."
Tests: 907 pass (+1), 0 fail. Pyright net-zero (43 → 43).

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
