Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Analyze tenant chilled water building connection submittals in Arabic and English against district cooling standards. Detect insufficient temperature differential designs that cause low delta-T syndrome.

District cooling customer connection managers and MEP technical compliance auditors

Extract tenant energy transfer station submittal specifications from bilingual PDF technical schedules.

Evaluate coil flow rates and design supply-return temperatures using EnergyPlus heat exchanger definitions.

Detect low delta-T risks that threaten central cooling plant distribution efficiency.

Synthesize a bilingual connection compliance scorecard and remediation notice for the property developer.

Bilingual document inspection interface highlighting extracted design variables and delta-T compliance status.

Use mock bilingual Arabic-English tenant MEP submittal manifests paired with EnergyPlus heat exchanger schema snippets. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.

EnergyPlus Utilizes EnergyPlus epJSON heat exchanger and water coil object properties to calculate thermal transfer efficiency.

haystack, pydantic-ai, pandas, fastapi. haystack manages bilingual document parsing, text extraction, and clause retrieval across technical submittals. Hosted multilingual LLM capable of high-accuracy English and Arabic technical translation and extraction.

Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.

Parses bilingual Arabic-English submittal documents to extract design flow, supply temperature, and return temperature.

Flags submittals failing to achieve the contractual 8.5°C delta-T threshold across heat exchangers.

Generates bilateral compliance scorecards with itemized engineering discrepancies.

Requires chief MEP engineer sign-off before official client rejection letters are dispatched.
