What should the intake capture?
Illustrative example. A useful intake links the selected equipment, site constraints, air and acoustic requirements, services, access and document controls.
| Field | Required evidence |
|---|---|
| Equipment | Current generator outline and data |
| Site | Location, access and constraints |
| Interfaces | Fuel, exhaust, cable and controls |
| Performance | Approved ventilation and acoustic basis |
| Documents | Drawing standard and issue register |
What is outside the checklist?
It does not set clearances, airflow, acoustic targets, structural capacity or code compliance. Those decisions remain with the responsible design team.
Common questions
What else should the bid team know?
Does this tool design the enclosure?
No. It prepares an input brief only.
Are selections stored?
No. Checklist selections remain in the browser.
Who approves the final design?
The responsible qualified designers and registered engineer on the job.
