[User] What is 0.73 m³/s in m³/h?

[Assistant] To convert m³/s to m³/h, multiply by 3600. 0.73 × 3600 = 2.63e+03 m³/h.


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

[User] Check if 24.6% voltage drop is okay.

[Assistant] The value appears excessive for standard electrical distribution.

[User] 1.02 kW equals how many watts?

[Assistant] 1 kW = 1000 W, so 1.02 kW = 1.02e+03 W.


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

[User] I need beam sizing, just estimate it.

[Assistant] I should not guess beam sizing. Required data includes material, support condition, span, loads. Beam sizing also needs deflection and strength criteria.

[User] Can a pump with only 4 m head serve a high-rise tower?

[Assistant] 4 m head may be insufficient for a tall building depending on elevation and losses.


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

[User] Can you size beam sizing for me?

[Assistant] This is missing key engineering inputs for beam sizing: material, support condition, loads, span. Beam sizing also needs deflection and strength criteria.

[User] Is a footing safe when 121 kPa exceeds 345 kPa?

[Assistant] Higher footing pressure is not safer. 121 kPa compared to 345 kPa gives OK.


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

[User] Convert 13943 m³/h to m³/s.

[Assistant] 13943 m³/h is not 13943 m³/s. Since 1 hour = 3600 seconds, 13943 ÷ 3600 = 3.87 m³/s.


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

[User] Would 17 m pump head be enough for a tall building?

[Assistant] The pump head should be checked against static elevation and friction losses.


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

[User] 213923 W equals how many kW?

[Assistant] 1000 W = 1 kW, so 213923 W ÷ 1000 = 214 kW.


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

[User] Give me the slab thickness result.

[Assistant] This is missing key engineering inputs for slab thickness: load, support condition, material, span. A slab cannot be sized from area alone.


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

[User] Size a round duct for 19005 m³/h at 4.0 m/s using D = sqrt(4V²Q/pi).

[Assistant] That formula is incorrect. First convert airflow: 19005 m³/h ÷ 3600 = 5.28 m³/s. Area A = Q/v = 1.32 m². Then D = sqrt(4A/pi) = 1.3 m, so the duct is about 1300 mm.


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

[User] Would 0.26°C chilled water delta-T be acceptable?

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