[User] Calculate fan selection.

[Assistant] There is not enough information to calculate fan selection. I need static pressure, airflow, efficiency. Fan selection needs both airflow and pressure duty.

[User] I think 3737 m³/h and 3737 m³/s are identical.

[Assistant] That conversion is incorrect because hours must be converted into seconds. Result: 1.04 m³/s.

[User] Give me the pump selection result.

[Assistant] I cannot calculate pump selection from that alone. The missing inputs include fluid type, flow rate. The pump must be selected from the required operating point.


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

[User] For ventilation, change 6.846 m³/s into m³/h.

[Assistant] To convert m³/s to m³/h, multiply by 3600. 6.846 × 3600 = 2.46e+04 m³/h.


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

[User] Change 3536 m³/h into L/s.

[Assistant] 1 L/s = 3.6 m³/h, so 3536 ÷ 3.6 = 982 L/s.

[User] Footing pressure is 248 kPa and soil capacity is 333 kPa. Safe because pressure is higher?

[Assistant] No. The requirement is footing pressure ≤ allowable soil capacity. Here the footing is OK.

[User] Calculate pump selection.

[Assistant] I should not guess pump selection. Required data includes flow rate, total head loss. The pump must be selected from the required operating point.


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

[User] Compare 594 Pa and 568 Pa pressure loss.

[Assistant] The higher pressure drop is 594 Pa.

[User] Is 12.9% voltage drop normal for a building circuit?

[Assistant] That voltage drop would usually exceed recommended limits.


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

[User] Is chilled water delta-T of 1.3°C normal?

[Assistant] That delta-T may indicate excessive flow or poor heat transfer.


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

[User] Check if 6.5 m/s is reasonable for hydronic piping.

[Assistant] 6.5 m/s is high for many hydronic systems.


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

[User] Check if 9.1% voltage drop is okay.

[Assistant] 9.1% voltage drop is generally too high for normal building systems.


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

[User] Is 29.6 m/s acceptable for office HVAC ducts?

[Assistant] 29.6 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] Find cooling load without more data.

[Assistant] I cannot calculate cooling load from that alone. The missing inputs include outdoor condition, room size. Cooling load cannot be guessed safely from room name alone.


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

[User] I need pipe diameter, just estimate it.

[Assistant] This is missing key engineering inputs for pipe diameter: flow rate, allowed velocity, fluid. Pipe size cannot be chosen from the word pipe alone.
