What are Kilocalorie and Therm

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy commonly used in the field of nutrition. It represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. Often referred to as a Calorie with a capital C in dietary contexts, it equates to 1,000 small calories, which are used in physics and chemistry.

Definition of Therm

A therm is a unit of heat energy that is commonly used in the United States to measure natural gas consumption. It is equivalent to 100,000 British thermal units (BTU). The term 'therm' is derived from the Greek word 'thermos' meaning 'heat'. In energy industry and commercial heating, therms are used to quantify large-scale energy use.
