A Mega British Thermal Unit (MBtu) is a unit of energy defined as one million British Thermal Units (BTU). A BTU is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. The 'IT' stands for 'International Table,' which is a standard for BTU established in 1956, used widely in the heating, cooling, and energy sectors.
Definition of Horsepower-hourA horsepower-hour (hp·h) is a unit of energy representing the work done by a power of one horsepower operating for one hour. It is used to measure the energy output of engines and motors. One horsepower-hour is equivalent to 2,545 BTU, which quantifies the amount of energy required to sustain the power of one horsepower for a full hour.
