First of all, it is asked to provide a floor area between 1,200,000 and 1,500,000 sf. Since my numbers were so low compared to these I played with the dimensions of my geometry. Without making it too weird I increased the floor area as much as I could but at this height it’s impossible to get into asked values so mine is a bit lower.
Then, I started following 6.3.A.1 to create cost parameter. I made everything from scratch because I wanted to learn as much as I can.
Then I created 2 custom nodes from this.
Before adding them to the big checking node, I first checked if they are working well.
Changed from this:
To this:
After a long debugging process I found the mistake and made it run.
Then I created solar analysis logic:
And made the required custom nodes and checked the result with previous one.
Then, I successfully implemented this into my big custom node.
Then, I started following part c and created a space parameter as shown. Thus, I have 3 parameters as asked. I merged everything and got minimum and maximum results to the excel table.
When it comes to results:
Since costs are very close its factor is chosen larger. Then I care about insolation for sustainability more than space efficiency.
According to total scores best 3 results are like below:
The best option is:
Since I care about insolation more than others and it has also the best score.
