Mixed-Use Development AI
AI optimization of mixed-use building design integrating multiple uses.
Definition
Mixed-Use Development AI supports the design of buildings and districts that combine residential, commercial, retail, and other uses. It optimizes vertical and horizontal integration, manages use conflicts, and creates synergies between different program elements.
In Depth
Mixed-use buildings combine residential, commercial, retail, and sometimes hospitality uses within a single structure. AI assists with the complex code compliance analysis that mixed-use buildings require — determining occupancy separations, fire protection systems, egress from each use, and the code-required separations between occupancies.
The occupancy separation analysis determines whether the building uses separated or non-separated mixed occupancy provisions. AI evaluates both approaches, calculating the required fire-resistance ratings for occupancy separations, the effect on allowable building area, and the implications for fire protection and egress. The analysis identifies the most favorable approach for the project's specific use mix.
