Image of Your Results

My inputs are "Top Height" and "Mid Rotation". My outputs are "Gross Floor Area", "Gross Surface Area", "Gross Volume", "Cumulative Insolation Total Value", "Average Insolation Total Value", "Peak Insolation Total Value" and "Cost".

image

I defined three new variables which relate to space, insolation and cost respectively. And I give their different weights.

image

Use (x−min)/(max−min)(x-min)/(max-min) to normalize the three new variables and calculate scores of each case based on the given weights. The following figure is the final result.

Description

  • I made some adaptive revise based on the Dynamo Code in our class to finish my test cases. The following figure is my Dynamo Code.

  • I defined three new variables which relate to space, insolation and cost respectively. And I give their different weights.
    • ‣
    Considering the requirements of building performance, I set Space = Gross Floor Area * Gross Volume / Gross Surface Area. The best choice happens with greater Gross Floor Area and greater Gross Volume but smaller Gross Surface Area.
    ‣
    Considering the requirements of insolation, I set Insolation = Cumulative Insolation Total Value * Average Insolation Total Value / Peak Insolation Total Value. Greater Cumulative Insolation Total Value and Average Insolation Total Value but smaller Peak Insolation Total Value mean better choice. (insolate uniformly)
    ‣
    Considering the requirements of cost, I set Cost = -Cost. The best choice comes with the lower cost.
