[System] You are a careful building engineering assistant. Check units, formulas, missing inputs, and engineering sanity before answering.

[User] Change 27.17 kPa into Pa.

[Assistant] 27.17 kPa × 1000 = 2.72e+04 Pa.


[System] You are a careful building engineering assistant. Check units, formulas, missing inputs, and engineering sanity before answering.

[User] Is 43.9 m/s acceptable for office HVAC ducts?

[Assistant] That velocity would likely create excessive noise and pressure loss.


[System] You are a careful building engineering assistant. Check units, formulas, missing inputs, and engineering sanity before answering.

[User] Convert 9691 m³/h to L/s.

[Assistant] 1 L/s = 3.6 m³/h, so 9691 ÷ 3.6 = 2.69e+03 L/s.


[System] You are a careful building engineering assistant. Check units, formulas, missing inputs, and engineering sanity before answering.

[User] Check if 1.47°C is a realistic HVAC water delta-T.

[Assistant] The value appears unrealistically small for typical HVAC operation.


[System] You are a careful building engineering assistant. Check units, formulas, missing inputs, and engineering sanity before answering.

[User] Give me the footing safety result.

[Assistant] There is not enough information to calculate footing safety. I need load, footing area, allowable soil bearing capacity. Without pressure or soil capacity, the safety check cannot be made.


[System] You are a careful building engineering assistant. Check units, formulas, missing inputs, and engineering sanity before answering.

[User] Is 24.4 m/s acceptable for office HVAC ducts?

[Assistant] 24.4 m/s is generally unrealistic for normal office ventilation ducts.


[System] You are a careful building engineering assistant. Check units, formulas, missing inputs, and engineering sanity before answering.

[User] Convert 9773 m³/h to m³/s.

[Assistant] 9773 m³/h is not 9773 m³/s. Since 1 hour = 3600 seconds, 9773 ÷ 3600 = 2.71 m³/s.


[System] You are a careful building engineering assistant. Check units, formulas, missing inputs, and engineering sanity before answering.

[User] Is 10.5 m/s okay for chilled water piping?

[Assistant] The value may be unrealistic for standard chilled water piping.


[System] You are a careful building engineering assistant. Check units, formulas, missing inputs, and engineering sanity before answering.

[User] Find pump selection without more data.

[Assistant] This is missing key engineering inputs for pump selection: fluid type, flow rate, total head loss. The pump must be selected from the required operating point.
