SAP 10.2 §4 line 7690 (full spec PDF p.136) defines the cylinder storage
loss cascade for any cert with a hot water cylinder lodged:
(54) = V × L × VF × TF (Table 2 absence-of-declared-loss branch)
(55) = (54) (no manufacturer's declared loss)
(56)m = (55) × n_m (per spec, n_m = days in month)
where
L = Table 2 (PDF p.158) Note 1 formula for the lodged insulation type
(factory-insulated cylinders: 0.005 + 0.55/(t+4.0); loose jacket:
0.005 + 1.76/(t+12.8))
VF = Table 2a (PDF p.158) Note 2 closed form (120/V)^(1/3)
TF = Table 2b (PDF p.159) base 0.60 for indirect / electric-immersion
cylinders, × 1.3 if no thermostat, × 0.9 if DHW separately timed
Prior, `water_heating_from_cert` hard-coded `solar_storage_monthly_kwh
= zero12` and `_water_heating_worksheet_and_gains` had no path to
populate it. The new `cylinder_storage_loss_monthly_kwh` helper in
`worksheet/water_heating.py` exposes Tables 2 / 2a / 2b as small typed
functions plus a composite; the cert-side orchestrator in
`rdsap/cert_to_inputs.py::_cylinder_storage_loss_override` resolves
the lodged cylinder fields and injects the override.
Code → litres mapping ground-truthed against worksheet (47) line refs
in /sap worksheets/Additional data with api/<cert>/dr87-*.pdf for the
7-cert ASHP cohort: code 3 → 160 L (Medium, 6 certs) and code 4 →
210 L (Large, cert 9418). Codes 2 / 5 / 6 (Normal / Inaccessible /
Exact) absent from the cohort and not yet mapped.
Cylinder insulation type code → "factory_insulated" mapping
(_CYLINDER_INSULATION_TYPE_FACTORY = 1) ground-truthed against all 7
ASHP cohort worksheets ("Foam" lodgement → SAP 10.2 Table 2 Note 2
"factory-insulated cylinder where the insulation is applied in the
course of manufacture irrespective of the insulation material used").
RdSAP §3 default table (PDF p.57) — "Hot water separately timed:
Post-1998 boiler: Yes" — applied to heat-pump main heating systems
(cat 4) per the cohort worksheet evidence.
Cert 0380 (Mitsubishi ASHP, 160 L factory 50 mm, thermostat + separately
timed) lands the spec formula at worksheet (56) Jan = 36.9530 kWh/month
(test pinned at 1e-4); HW kWh/yr 242.21 → 431.38, recovering ~189 kWh/yr
of cylinder loss the cascade was previously dropping.
Cohort regression: cert 0390-2954 (oil boiler + 160 L cylinder) tightens
PE residual -28.6783 → -27.5026 kWh/m² and CO2 residual -2.7640 →
-2.6570 t/yr — both move closer to the lodged values (improvement).
Re-pinned with a slice-102b note.
Closed boiler chain tests (001479, 0330, 9501) unaffected: those certs
lodge has_hot_water_cylinder=false so the override stays None and the
existing zero-storage-loss default fires.

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
