What are Therm and Kilocalorie

A therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 British thermal units (BTU). It is commonly used in the energy sector, particularly in natural gas and heating industries, to measure the amount of heat generated. One therm can be approximated to 105.5 megajoules or 29.307 kilowatt-hours. The unit is often used in discussions of energy policy or natural gas pricing.

A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. Commonly used in the context of food energy, it is equivalent to 1,000 small calories (cal). In scientific contexts, the kilocalorie is sometimes used to express amounts of energy in chemistry and physics.
