The main intended users of the tool which I am planning to develop are the Architects. The broad objective of the tool is to maximize the total solar insolation with minimizing the total cost.

The inputs are:

1) The base radius of the building

2) The middle radius of the building

3) The top radius of the building

4) The top rotation

5) Total Height

6) Number of sides of the building

7) Inter-story height

8) Cost of construction at the bottom of the building

9) Cost of construction at the top of the building

The logic behind the model is to optimize the design by considering certain given set of inputs, by using the Generative Design study. The goal is to analyze the design (outputs) by varying certain set of inputs on a scatter plot, and then suggesting the optimum design.

The outputs will be:

1) Gross Surface Area

2) Gross Volume

3) Ratio of Surface Area by Volume

4) Cost per Insolation

5) Total Cost of Construction

6) Solar Insolation

7) To panelize the building

8) Adjusting the appearance of the panels
