B0020-nsga2-0-1494

NSGA-IID · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0020

Plan drawing of a duplex on a 18.0 by 21.2 metre lot, 2 storeys, 2 dwellings, 14 rooms. Dwelling U0 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 103 square metres. Dwelling U1 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 103 square metres. Building footprint 117 square metres; open space 259 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.80, daylight 0.55, privacy 0.97, circulation 0.58, carbon 0.80, cost 0.45.
