What are Therm and Poundal-foot

A therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy. It is defined as 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTU). It is commonly used in the energy sector, particularly in natural gas and heating industries, as a measure of heat content or energy produced by burning fuels.

A poundal-foot (pdl·ft) is a unit of work or energy in the foot-poundal system, an English engineering unit. It is the work done by a force of one poundal acting through a displacement of one foot in the direction of the force.
