While observing takeoff for
|
|
[[electrical-takeoff#Unit Condensing Units|unit condensing units]],
|
|
the project engineer expressed confusion
|
|
at the process of calculating average horizontal length,
|
|
expressing that it was more complicated than they expected
|
|
considering takeoff procedure for similar processes.
|
|
The PE asked why we would not simply use the maximum
|
|
so that we would not risk having too little overall.
|
|
|
|
Their expectation surprised me,
|
|
since it is intuitive to me
|
|
that there must be some limit to the logic of "covering it",
|
|
since it is always within our power to add contingency,
|
|
and especially because---if anything---
|
|
I feel that our procedures tend towards
|
|
the _upper_ end of reasonable ECI.

My response was not well formulated.
