Joules
The Joule (J) is the SI unit of energy. One joule is defined as the amount of energy transferred when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter. It can also be defined as the energy transferred when one watt of power is applied for one second. The joule is a versatile unit used in various scientific and engineering contexts to measure energy, work, and heat. It is commonly used in physics, chemistry, and engineering to quantify the energy content of fuels, the work done by machines, and the energy used or produced in electrical circuits.
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.
