B0028-cpsat-1-0

CP-SATE · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0028

Plan drawing of a rowhouse on a 22.2 by 26.7 metre lot, 2 storeys, 3 dwellings, 27 rooms. Dwelling U0 (2BR) has 9 rooms totalling 126 square metres. Dwelling U1 (2BR) has 9 rooms totalling 151 square metres. Dwelling U2 (2BR) has 9 rooms totalling 120 square metres. Building footprint 276 square metres; open space 308 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.55, daylight 0.66, privacy 0.84, circulation 0.55, carbon 0.77, cost 0.46.
