Kilo BTU
A kiloBritish Thermal Unit (kBTU) is a unit of heat energy equal to 1,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs). One kBTU represents the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1,000 pounds of water by one degree Fahrenheit. This unit is commonly used in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry to quantify the heating and cooling capacities of larger systems and equipment. It is also used in energy management and building energy performance assessments to evaluate and compare the energy usage and efficiency of different systems and buildings.
Gigajoules
A Gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000,000,000 joules. It is commonly used to measure very large quantities of energy, such as the energy consumption of cities, the energy production of power plants, and the energy content of large quantities of fuel. One gigajoule is the amount of energy required to apply a force of one newton over a distance of one billion meters, or the energy transferred when one gigawatt of power is applied for one second. Gigajoules are used in various fields, including energy production, industrial processes, and large-scale energy management, providing a standard measure for comparing substantial energy transfers and consumption.
