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

[User] Convert 215166 W to kW.

[Assistant] 1000 W = 1 kW, so 215166 W ÷ 1000 = 215 kW.

[User] Check if 14.0% voltage drop is okay.

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


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

[User] Would 6.9 m/s pipe velocity be normal?

[Assistant] 6.9 m/s is high for many hydronic systems.

[User] Is 24.3% voltage drop normal for a building circuit?

[Assistant] 24.3% 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] Would 43.1 m/s duct velocity be normal in an office?

[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] Change 8534 m³/h into L/s.

[Assistant] 1 L/s = 3.6 m³/h, so 8534 ÷ 3.6 = 2.37e+03 L/s.


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

[User] Would 1.32°C chilled water delta-T be acceptable?

[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] I only have room area 20 m² and 11 ACH. Calculate airflow.

[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] I need slab thickness, just estimate it.

[Assistant] I cannot calculate slab thickness from that alone. The missing inputs include span, load. 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] Check this airflow conversion: 2816 m³/h = 2816 m³/s.

[Assistant] That conversion is incorrect because hours must be converted into seconds. Result: 0.782 m³/s.


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

[User] The smaller pressure drop is more severe, correct? Compare 339 Pa and 268 Pa.

[Assistant] Larger pressure drop means more resistance. Here 339 Pa is worse.


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

[User] Calculate slab thickness.

[Assistant] This is missing key engineering inputs for slab thickness: load, material, span, support condition. 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] Is 16.8% voltage drop normal for a building circuit?

[Assistant] 16.8% voltage drop is generally too high for normal building systems.
