B0004-cpsat-2-0

CP-SATE · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0004

Plan drawing of a rowhouse on a 18.5 by 25.0 metre lot, 2 storeys, 3 dwellings, 27 rooms. Dwelling U0 (2BR) has 9 rooms totalling 112 square metres. Dwelling U1 (2BR) has 9 rooms totalling 102 square metres. Dwelling U2 (2BR) has 9 rooms totalling 107 square metres. Building footprint 178 square metres; open space 284 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.77, daylight 0.73, privacy 0.82, circulation 0.71, carbon 0.71, cost 0.23.
