B0002-cpsat-2-39

CP-SATE · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0002

Plan drawing of a duplex on a 15.3 by 19.8 metre lot, 2 storeys, 2 dwellings, 12 rooms. Dwelling U0 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 104 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 86 square metres. Building footprint 108 square metres; open space 202 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.78, daylight 0.69, privacy 0.81, circulation 0.78, carbon 0.76, cost 0.40.
