B0068-cpsat-0-48

CP-SATE · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0068

Plan drawing of a duplex on a 16.9 by 19.4 metre lot, 2 storeys, 2 dwellings, 12 rooms. Dwelling U0 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 117 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 112 square metres. Building footprint 123 square metres; open space 208 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.89, daylight 0.66, privacy 0.76, circulation 0.80, carbon 0.80, cost 0.46.
