What are Therm and Poundal-foot

A Therm, commonly abbreviated as 'thm', is a non-SI unit of heat energy. It is defined as exactly 100,000 British thermal units (BTU). It is often used in the energy sector, particularly for natural gas billing. The Therm EC (European Commission) denotes a specific quantity of energy equivalent to the heat required to raise the temperature of 100,000 pounds of water by 1°F.

A Poundal-foot (pdl·ft) is a unit of work or energy in the foot-poundal system, which is a sub-system of the English units. It is defined as the amount of work done by a force of one poundal acting through a displacement of one foot. In other words, it is the energy required to move an object one foot against a force of one poundal.
