Hierarchical Building Model Design Using Valuation Scores

The patent segments the building design process into hierarchical levels (primary design models and secondary design models) and evaluates different aspects (environmental factors, legal elements, construction elements, financial elements) separately at each level. This segmentation allows comprehensive valuation without overwhelming complexity by breaking down the design process into manageable stages with specific evaluation criteria for each.

The patent performs preliminary valuation assessments at the primary design model level before proceeding to secondary design models. By calculating valuation scores for construction elements and financial elements in advance, the system identifies promising design directions early, preventing wasted effort on suboptimal paths and improving overall building value through informed decision-making at each hierarchical level.

The patent divides the comprehensive valuation process into separate evaluation stages for different element types (environmental, legal, construction, financial) and different model levels (primary and secondary). This segmentation enables parallel processing of different valuation aspects and allows the system to focus computational resources on the most critical factors at each stage, achieving design optimality without requiring all calculations to be performed simultaneously, thus reducing overall time consumption.

The patent implements a tiered valuation approach where not all design elements are evaluated with the same level of detail across all models. Primary design models receive comprehensive evaluation across all element types, while secondary design models receive focused evaluation on specific aspects. This partial action approach ensures optimal designs are identified without performing exhaustive analysis on every possible variation, significantly reducing computational time while maintaining design quality.

The patent implements a clear hierarchical segmentation with distinct primary design models and secondary design models, each with specific generation rules and evaluation criteria. This segmentation simplifies the overall system by creating modular, independent evaluation stages that can be processed sequentially, improving design generation efficiency while keeping system complexity manageable through structured organization of the design process.

The patent employs a nested hierarchical structure where secondary design models are generated based on and nested within the context of primary design models. This nesting allows the system to reuse evaluation results and design decisions from the primary level, avoiding redundant calculations and reducing system complexity. The nested structure enables efficient design generation by building upon previously established design frameworks rather than evaluating everything from scratch.
