What are Calorie and Therm

A Calorie (with an uppercase 'C'), also known as a kilocalorie, is a unit of energy. Specifically, it represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. This unit is commonly used in nutrition to quantify the energy content in foods.

A Therm (European Commission), or Therm EC, is a non-SI unit of heat energy. It's defined as 100,000 British thermal units (BTU). It is commonly used in the energy industry, particularly for natural gas pricing and consumption in terms of heat output.

History of Calorie and Therm

A brief history of the Calorie th to Therm EC conversion dates back to the early 20th century when energy calculations became critical for various industries, particularly in heating and food sectors. The need for standardized energy units led to the development of converters for practical applications.
