About These Units
About Kilowatt Hour
The SI (International System of Units) unit of energy is the joule (J), equal to one watt - second; one kilowatt hour is exactly 3.6 megajoules, which is the amount of energy transferred if work is done at a rate of one thousand watts for one hour. The kilowatt hour is a convenient unit for electrical bills because the energy usage of a typical electrical customer in one month is several hundred kilowatt hours. Megawatt hours and terawatt hours are used for metering larger amounts of electrical energy
About Btu
The Btu is a unit of heat energy defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. In America the British thermal unit is sometimes called the heat unit. In defining the Btu, it is necessary to specify the temperature of the water; thus there have been several definitions over the years. However, one Btu is equal to about 251.996 (small) calories, or 0.251 996 of the (kilo-)calories counted by dieters. Using the current definition of the calorie (the IT calorie), one Btu equals approximately 778.169 foot pounds, 1.055 056 kilojoules or 0.293 071 watt hour. The symbol BThU has also been used, especially in Britain.
