B0008-cpsat-1-41

CP-SATE · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0008

Plan drawing of a duplex on a 17.5 by 22.1 metre lot, 2 storeys, 2 dwellings, 12 rooms. Dwelling U0 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 114 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 111 square metres. Building footprint 119 square metres; open space 266 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.94, daylight 0.70, privacy 0.78, circulation 0.81, carbon 0.80, cost 0.53.
