Khalim Conn-Kowlessar aa2c7a9171 slice S-B7: per-end-use fuel cost — HW uses water-fuel, lighting always electric
SAP 10.3 §12 charges fuel costs by end-use, not by main heating fuel.
For a gas-heated dwelling with an electric immersion hot-water cylinder,
HW bills at the electric rate (13.19 p/kWh) not the gas main-heating
rate (3.48 p/kWh) — a 3.8× cost difference for HW that propagates
straight to ECF. Lighting, central-heating pumps, and fans always
electric regardless of main fuel.

Discovered by hand-tracing cert 8035-9023 (Detached bungalow, actual
SAP 43, predicted 63). Trace showed our hot-water + lighting + pumps
lines were charging mains-gas rates throughout, under-counting cost by
~£290/yr.

100-cert parity probe (biggest single Session-B slice so far):
  MAE 5.70 → 4.90   (-0.80, -14%)
  RMSE 7.48 → 6.68  (-11%)
  within ±1:  20% → 24%
  within ±3:  37% → 46%
  within ±5:  54% → 67%
  bias +1.50 → -1.44 (over-corrected by ~3 SAP points)

The over-correction (bias now slightly negative) means we're now
under-predicting on average. Next slice tackles where we're charging
too much electricity — probably HW on dwellings with combi boilers (no
immersion, water still on main fuel) and the water_heating_code 901
("from main system") inheritance path.

Shared packages

Workspace packages consumed by services/*. Each package is its own Python distribution with its own pyproject.toml; services import via the workspace dependency mechanism ({ workspace = true }).

Package Purpose
domain/ Shared domain types — Property, BaselinePerformance, Plan, Scenario, EpcPropertyData, etc. No persistence, no IO, no business logic.
repos/ Persistence layer — one repo per aggregate. Owns the SQL. Depends on domain.
fetchers/ External API clients (gov EPC, Ofgem, Google Solar, etc.). Depend on domain for response shapes.
utils/ Cross-cutting infra — logging, S3, CloudWatch URL builders, SQS task helpers.

Adding a new shared package

Only when a real second consumer materialises. Don't pre-shatter (repos-epc, repos-property, ...) — split when a deployment needs to drop a dep, not before.

See ../ara_backend_design.md §11 for the broader monorepo layout and ../CONTEXT.md for the domain glossary that names the types living in domain/.
