Btu (Th)
The Btu (th), or British thermal unit (th), is a unit of energy used primarily in the United States to measure heat content, equivalent to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
History/Origin
The Btu (th) originated from the British thermal unit, a traditional unit of heat in the British Imperial system, and has been used historically in heating, cooling, and energy industries to quantify energy content and heat transfer.
Current Use
Today, the Btu (th) is mainly used in the energy sector, particularly in heating and cooling systems, natural gas billing, and energy content measurement, especially within the United States.
Therm (Ec)
The therm (EC) is a unit of energy used primarily in the measurement of natural gas and heating energy, equivalent to 100,000 British thermal units (BTUs).
History/Origin
The therm originated in the early 19th century as a practical unit for measuring large quantities of heat energy, especially in the gas industry, and has been standardized in various regions for energy billing and calculations.
Current Use
Today, the therm (EC) is used mainly in the natural gas industry and energy sectors to quantify heat energy consumption, although it has largely been supplemented or replaced by SI units like joules and kilowatt-hours in many regions.
