Understanding Joules and Therms
What is a Joule?
A joule (J) is the SI unit of energy, defined as the energy transferred when applying a force of one newton through a distance of one meter. It's commonly used in scientific calculations and equals one watt-second.
What is a Therm?
A therm is a unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 British thermal units (BTU). It's commonly used by natural gas companies to measure consumption and represents approximately 29.3 kilowatt-hours of energy.
Conversion Formula
To convert joules to therms, multiply the energy value by 9.4782×10⁻⁹:
Therms = Joules × 9.4782E-9
