B0008-nsga2-2-1281

NSGA-IID · 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 77 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 77 square metres. Building footprint 89 square metres; open space 301 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.59, daylight 0.80, privacy 0.93, circulation 0.58, carbon 0.75, cost 0.24.
