What are Kilowatt-second and Therm

A Kilowatt-second (kWs) is a unit of energy equivalent to one kilowatt of power expended for one second. It is a measure used to quantify work done or energy expended. One kilowatt-second is equal to 1,000 joules. This unit is often used in the context of electrical energy, where power consumption and generation are commonly measured in kilowatts and time in seconds.

A Therm is a unit of heat energy commonly used in the United States and is equivalent to 100,000 British thermal units (BTUs). It is traditionally used in the natural gas industry to measure the amount of heat generated by burning one Therm of gas. This measurement is key in the contexts of heating, industrial processes, and energy billing, offering a standardized approach for calculating and comparing energy consumption.
