What are Therm and BTU

Definition of Therm

A Therm, specifically a Therm EC (European Commission), is a non-SI unit of heat energy. It is commonly used in the energy sector, particularly for natural gas pricing. One Therm is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) or approximately 105.5 megajoules. The term 'Therm' is derived from the Greek word 'thermos', meaning heat, reflecting its role as a measure of thermal energy.

Definition of BTU

A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a traditional unit of heat; it is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. It is a part of the United States customary units and is commonly used in the power, steam generation, heating, and air conditioning industries. One BTU reflects the energy needed to perform a specific amount of work, like heating a substance.
