Highly social, Prairie Dogs live in large colonies called âtownsâ and in collections of families that can span hundreds of acres. A Prairie Dog town may contain 15 to 26 family groups, made up of a series of burrows with mounded entrances. Mother Prairie Dogs provide most of the care for the young.
BTU, or British thermal unit, is the industry-standard used to measure the heating efficiency of furnaces. In addition to BTU ratings, furnace manufacturers might include a Manual J Load rating and a percentage of energy efficiency.
A 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.TUs 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.
