B0044-cpsat-0-39

CP-SATE · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0044

Plan drawing of a duplex on a 13.8 by 20.7 metre lot, 2 storeys, 2 dwellings, 12 rooms. Dwelling U0 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 70 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 55 square metres. Building footprint 75 square metres; open space 212 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.77, daylight 0.94, privacy 0.76, circulation 0.74, carbon 0.67, cost 0.30.
