What are Therm and Watt-hour

A therm, abbreviated as 'thm', is a non-SI unit of heat energy. It is commonly used in the heating and energy sectors, particularly in natural gas pricing. One therm equals 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs). It is approximately equivalent to the amount of energy contained in 96.7 cubic feet of natural gas. Given its significant energy content, thms are useful for large-scale energy assessments.

A watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one watt (1W) of power expended for one hour (1h) of time. It signifies the amount of energy used to keep a 1-watt device running for an hour. Since it is a small unit, kilowatt-hours (kWh), which are equal to 1,000 watt-hours, are more commonly used. Wh is a fundamental unit for measuring electricity consumption and is widely used by electric utilities.
