[Assistant] 1 L/s = 3.6 m³/h, so 2303 × 3.6 = 8.29e+03 m³/h.


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

[User] Convert 15552 m³/h to L/s.

[Assistant] 1 L/s = 3.6 m³/h, so 15552 ÷ 3.6 = 4.32e+03 L/s.

[User] Would 9 m pump head be enough for a tall building?

[Assistant] 9 m head may be insufficient for a tall building depending on elevation and losses.

[User] 110.9 kW equals how many watts?

[Assistant] 1 kW = 1000 W, so 110.9 kW = 1.11e+05 W.


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

[User] Would 7.5 m/s pipe velocity be normal?

[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] Would 16.8 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] Find beam sizing without more data.

[Assistant] There is not enough information to calculate beam sizing. I need support condition, material, loads, span. 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] Is a footing safe when 363 kPa exceeds 346 kPa?

[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] Is chilled water delta-T of 1.49°C normal?

[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] Is 17.8 m/s acceptable for office HVAC ducts?

[Assistant] 17.8 m/s is unusually high for typical office HVAC ductwork.


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

[User] Check if 0.41°C is a realistic HVAC water delta-T.

[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 have airflow 11962 m³/h. What is that in m³/s?

[Assistant] 11962 m³/h is not 11962 m³/s. Since 1 hour = 3600 seconds, 11962 ÷ 3600 = 3.32 m³/s.


[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 loads, material, span, support condition. 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] Is 40.8 m/s acceptable for office HVAC ducts?

[Assistant] 40.8 m/s is unusually high for typical office HVAC ductwork.


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

[User] Compare 482 Pa and 404 Pa pressure loss.

[Assistant] The higher pressure drop is 482 Pa.


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

[User] Would 11.3 m/s pipe velocity be normal?

[Assistant] 11.3 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] Size a round duct for 16826 m³/h at 4.6 m/s using D = sqrt(4V²Q/pi).

[Assistant] No. The formula mixes dimensions incorrectly. Use Q/v for area, then D = sqrt(4A/pi). Final diameter is about 1137 mm.


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

[User] Compare 370 Pa and 451 Pa pressure loss.

[Assistant] Larger pressure drop means more resistance. Here 451 Pa is worse.


[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, footing area. Without pressure or soil capacity, the safety check cannot be made.
