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.
BTUs are âBritish Thermal Unitsâ, the unit in which radiator efficiency is measured. Factors such as room dimensions, window size and wall material are used to calculate the required outputs of radiators, in order to adequately heat a room. British Thermal Unit (BTU) is an approximation of the amount of energy required to heat 1lb (one pound) of water from 39Â°F to 40Â°F (degrees Fahrenheit), and is roughly equal to 1.055 KJoules. Simplified, 1 BTU is roughly the amount of heat produced by burning a single wooden match.
