[User] Convert 7.08 kW to W.

[Assistant] 1 kW = 1000 W, so 7.08 kW = 7.08e+03 W.


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

[User] Footing pressure is 160 kPa and soil capacity is 154 kPa. Safe because pressure is higher?

[Assistant] No. The requirement is footing pressure ≤ allowable soil capacity. Here the footing is NOT OK.

[User] Is 37.3 m/s acceptable for office HVAC ducts?

[Assistant] 37.3 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] This is missing key engineering inputs for cooling load: room size, ventilation, outdoor condition, occupancy, internal gains. 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] Would 63 m pump head be enough for a tall building?

[Assistant] 63 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] Convert 6140 m³/h to L/s.

[Assistant] 1 L/s = 3.6 m³/h, so 6140 ÷ 3.6 = 1.71e+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 pump selection for me?

[Assistant] I cannot calculate pump selection from that alone. The missing inputs include total head loss, 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] Give me the pipe diameter result.

[Assistant] I should not guess pipe diameter. Required data includes fluid, 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] 159.55 kW equals how many watts?

[Assistant] 1 kW = 1000 W, so 159.55 kW = 1.6e+05 W.


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

[User] Is 6.8 m/s okay for chilled water piping?

[Assistant] That velocity could create noise and high pressure losses.


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

[User] Compare 440 Pa and 425 Pa pressure loss.

[Assistant] The greater Pa value represents higher pressure loss.


[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] There is not enough information to calculate beam sizing. I need span, loads, support condition, material. Beam sizing also needs deflection and strength criteria.
