Understanding Quad Energy Measurements
What is a Quad?
A quad is a unit of energy equal to one quadrillion (10¹⁵) British Thermal Units (BTU). It's primarily used to measure and compare energy consumption on national and global scales, making it particularly useful for analyzing energy policies and resources.
Common Uses
Quads are frequently used in energy policy discussions, national energy consumption reports, and international energy comparisons. The United States, for example, consumes approximately 100 quads of energy annually.
