B0008-cpsat-2-2

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 86 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 47 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 0.72, daylight 0.93, privacy 0.76, circulation 0.55, carbon 0.71, cost 0.26.
