here is the project:

you need to analyse the structure of a seven$-$storey, dual$-$use

building suitable for both residential and office purposes, intended to replace an

existing one$-$storey building. Of the seven storeys, six levels are used for the flats, and

one level is used for parking.

As shown in Figure $1,$the total available land is $699\mathrm{.}68$m$2$

$.$The local council allows

$1\mathrm{.}6$times the land area to be used for flats across six storeys $(187$m$2$for each storey$).$

The ground floor is allocated for parking space, adding an additional $187$m$2.$In total,

you have seven storeys, including one level for parking. You may also consider

incorporating a basement for additional parking $($another $187$m$2)$as indoor parking

should be provided for all flats.

Your design should include an indoor swimming pool, which can be located either in

the basement or on the rooftop. The roof area should be designed as a green roof or

roof garden. The building is allowed to project outward by $0\mathrm{.}8$m from the second floor

onward.

Land is extremely valuable in this area; therefore, you need to consider an innovative

approach to reduce waste areas. In a commercial sense, waste areas will be the

staircase and spaces taken by elevators since the client cannot charge for these areas.

Figure $2$shows an indicative example of an architectural plan for one floor.

Additional Information:

$$There is an existing building on this land that should be demolished.

$$Parking should be considered on the ground floor; the clear height of the

ground floor should be $2\mathrm{.}5$m$.$

$$The clear height on each level, apart from the ground floor and the basement,

should be $3\mathrm{.}0$m$.$

$$A flat roof should be considered for this structure.

$$Each flat should have a storage room, either on the ground floor or on the roof.

$$This site is located in a high seismicity region.

$$The soil is classified as type D$.$

These are the tasks i need to complete;

Producing:

$$Schematic plan and section of structure

$$Beam and column layout

$4.$Calculation of embodied carbon for the structure of the building, utilizing

Python programming to automate data analysis and calculations.

$5.$Identifying key regulations and legislations and discussing their impact on

this project $($e$.$g$.,$CDM$,$Party Wall, and fire regulations$)-$Advanced Structural Analysis. My part is to calculate the Carbon emissions. Can you help me with this? can you also help for ways to make the building more sustainable, this is what i have so far: Minimizing carbon impact:

$-$ Material selection $-$utilize high$-$recycled content steel or low$-$carbon concrete mixes incorporating supplementary cementitious materials like fly ash or slag

$-$ Design optimization $-$reduce unnecessary steel member sizes by refining the structural analysis, and explore the use of light weight floor systems

$-$ Compare the embodied carbon and operational energy savings of different design choices, including the green roof and swimming pool location

$$

Parking area design$-$

$-$ Layout suggestions

o$$ Use efficient parking configurations $($ e$.$g$.$ angled or stack parking$)$ to maximize space utilization

o$$ Consider adding a basement level for additional parking, meeting the requirements of all flats

$-$ Energy savings features

o$$ Install solar panels on the roof or use geothermal energy for pool heating

o$$ Efficient lighting: use motion senor$-$controlled LED lighting

o$$ Electric vehicle $($EV$)$ charging stations: provide EV charging points to promote sustainable transportation meter Of The Land $1.$
