Khalim Conn-Kowlessar 4db05e843c fix(ventilation): dMEV takes lodged 0 intermittent fans, not the Table 5 default (SAP 10.2 §2)
Chasing the space-heating demand gap on "simulated case 48" (main 691 + Unknown
meter + 903 dual immersion): our SAP 55 vs Elmhurst 57. Every §10a cost line
already matched to the penny; the residual was demand — our space-heating
energy 3849.8 kWh vs Elmhurst 3513.8 (+9.6%). Traced through the worksheet: our
ventilation heat loss (38) ran ~35.5 W/K vs Elmhurst 27.76 — we were adding 20
m3/h of intermittent extract fans (the Table 5 age-band default) on a dwelling
with a decentralised mechanical extract (dMEV) system that lodges 0 fans.

SAP 10.2 §2 (PDF p.13): a whole-house mechanical EXTRACT system provides
extraction via the (23a) 0.5 system air-change rate; the lodged intermittent
extract-fan count (7a) is then explicit — a lodged 0 means 0 (the dMEV is the
ventilation), NOT "unknown". The Table 5 default is an unknown-fallback for
NATURALLY ventilated dwellings only, so it must not be substituted here.

Fix: for EXTRACT_OR_PIV_OUTSIDE, take vc.intermittent_fans as-is (no age-band
default). Worksheet-proven on two dMEV builds of cert 000565: "case 48" lodges
(7a)=0 -> our SAP 55 -> 57 EXACT; the original 000565 fixture lodges (7a)=2 and
keeps 2 (its e2e pins are unchanged). An earlier draft that forced fans=0 broke
000565 (which legitimately has 2) — corrected to "lodged as-is".

within-0.5 72.5% -> 72.6%, MAE 0.789 -> 0.788; CO2/PE unchanged. The fix also
reduces a systematic under-rating bias in the 21-cert dMEV cohort (median dSAP
-0.22 -> -0.08). Scoped to EXTRACT_OR_PIV_OUTSIDE; balanced MVHR/MV kinds left
untouched pending their own worksheet. SAP-schema regression
test_18_0_0 pin 80 -> 81 (closer to its lodged 84, same cause). Spec-pinned in
test_cert_to_inputs (dMEV-lodged-0 vs natural-default). pyright not installed
in this container -- strict type gate not run locally.
