- For 2 or More Units: Create Two New Evaluator Nodes
- Images showing the node logic in your new evaluator nodes
- An Image/screenshot of your summary table (created in Word, Excel, Google Sheets, or any data table tool) showing the input values tested and the values computed for each of the reported parameters
- Estimate Cost
I chose to evaluate this metric because estimated cost is one of the most critical factors for project owners and developers, and the outcome of this analysis will significantly influence their decision-making.
Determine how the total construction costs for the chosen building element vary depending on different combinations of tower height and base width/depth.
According to the Design Brief, the construction cost per square foot increases linearly from $500 at ground level to $1,000 at a height of 744 feet. The selected input parameters ensure that the building's geometry, including total area and site development constraints, remains within the limits specified in the Design Brief.
- Directness to Two Objectives
I added an additional objective to evaluate directness to two targets instead of just one. To do this, I duplicated the “BuildingForm.PanelizeWallSurfaces” and “Panels.ComputeDirectnessToObject” components, then calculated the directness values for both objectives. I summed the two directness values and took their average. This approach can be extended to multiple targets by applying the same logic.
