Step 1 - Generative Design Framework
Step 2 - Generative Design Study
I then used this geometry to compute Volume and surface area in order to use this data for my evaluators.
I then calculated my evaluators
I calculated Building Value with a base value and scaled it greater as the volume of the building increased to represent higher rents for more space.
I calculated Total Costs with two parts. First, I had a base building cost that I increased as the surface area of the building increased. I set this up to accelerate as the surface area got larger and larger in order to overtake any additional value creation. The second part involved multiplying the surface area of the building by an energy cost factor in order to estimate energy costs. I added these two parts to reach total cost.
I then calculated disturbance by multiplying the height of the building by a disturbance factor. As the building got taller, more surrounding neighbors would be negatively affected by the size.
I finished by retrieving the outputs from the model
