[User] Check this unit conversion: 3050 m³/h = 3050 m³/s.

[Assistant] 3050 m³/h is not 3050 m³/s. Since 1 hour = 3600 seconds, 3050 ÷ 3600 = 0.847 m³/s.


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

[User] For HVAC airflow, convert 8593 m³/h into m³/s.

[Assistant] 8593 m³/h is not 8593 m³/s. Since 1 hour = 3600 seconds, 8593 ÷ 3600 = 2.39 m³/s.


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

[User] Which pressure drop is worse: 600 Pa or 195 Pa?

[Assistant] The higher pressure drop is 600 Pa.


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

[User] Footing pressure is 251 kPa and soil capacity is 180 kPa. Safe because pressure is higher?

[Assistant] The logic is reversed. Pressure must not exceed soil bearing capacity. Status: NOT OK.


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

[User] Calculate footing safety.

[Assistant] This is missing key engineering inputs for footing safety: allowable soil bearing capacity, load, footing area. 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] Change 18277 m³/h into L/s.

[Assistant] 1 L/s = 3.6 m³/h, so 18277 ÷ 3.6 = 5.08e+03 L/s.


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

[User] Can you size cooling load for me?

[Assistant] There is not enough information to calculate cooling load. I need occupancy, 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] Calculate beam sizing.

[Assistant] I cannot calculate beam sizing from that alone. The missing inputs include span, support condition, loads, material. Beam sizing also needs deflection and strength criteria.


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

[User] Would 11.6 m/s pipe velocity be normal?

[Assistant] 11.6 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] Give me the pipe diameter result.

[Assistant] I should not guess pipe diameter. Required data includes fluid, flow rate, allowed velocity. Pipe size cannot be chosen from the word pipe alone.


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

[User] Convert 3171 m³/h to m³/s.

[Assistant] 3171 m³/h is not 3171 m³/s. Since 1 hour = 3600 seconds, 3171 ÷ 3600 = 0.881 m³/s.


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

[User] Calculate ACH airflow using only floor area 23 m².

[Assistant] You also need room height to determine volume before calculating ACH airflow.


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

[User] 16106 m³/h equals 16106 m³/s, right?

[Assistant] 16106 m³/h is not 16106 m³/s. Since 1 hour = 3600 seconds, 16106 ÷ 3600 = 4.47 m³/s.


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

[User] Change 18.78 kW into W.

[Assistant] 1 kW = 1000 W, so 18.78 kW = 1.88e+04 W.


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

[User] I think 8865 m³/h and 8865 m³/s are identical.

[Assistant] No. 8865 m³/h ÷ 3600 = 2.46 m³/s.


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

[User] I need voltage drop, just estimate it.

[Assistant] I should not guess voltage drop. Required data includes phase type, current, conductor size, cable length, material. Voltage drop depends on both electrical load and cable impedance.


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

[User] For ventilation, change 0.695 m³/s into m³/h.

[Assistant] To convert m³/s to m³/h, multiply by 3600. 0.695 × 3600 = 2.5e+03 m³/h.
