A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree F. This is the standard measurement used to state the amount of energy that a type of fuel has as well as the amount of output of any heat generating device. Many air conditioners, gas appliances, and heating systems have their capacity rated in BTUs.
A BTU is a measurement of thermal energy where one BTU is equal to the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1Â° Fahrenheit. Even small space heaters can produce thousands of BTUs. A central air conditioner, which uses hundreds of thousands of BTUs.e: dougsherman's post. 1 BTU is roughly 1055 joules of heat, or energy. You are mistaking joules with joules/second. Regardless of how long it takes to expose the water to 1 BTU of heat, 1 BTU of heat will raise the temperature of 1 pound of water 1 degree Fahrenheit.
