B0060-heuristic_nsga2-0-996

Heuristic-seeded NSGA-IIA+D · violates 1 of 17 benchmark constraints (1 violations). Brief B0060

Plan drawing of a adu pair on a 12.6 by 19.3 metre lot, 2 storeys, 2 dwellings, 14 rooms. Dwelling U0 (3BR) has 8 rooms totalling 83 square metres. Dwelling U1 (studio) has 4 rooms totalling 83 square metres. Building footprint 94 square metres; open space 149 square metres. This design is infeasible; failing categories: insufficient area. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.92, daylight 0.46, privacy 0.83, circulation 0.66, carbon 0.76, cost 0.55.
