Understanding BTU and Quad Measurements
What is a BTU?
A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a traditional unit of heat energy defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. BTUs are commonly used in:
- HVAC system ratings
- Energy efficiency measurements
- Fuel consumption calculations
What is a Quad?
A Quad is a unit of energy equal to one quadrillion (10¹⁵) BTUs. This massive unit is typically used to measure:
- National energy consumption
- Global energy resources
- Industrial energy usage statistics
