What are Therm and Megajoule

A Therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy that is equivalent to 100,000 British thermal units (BTUs). Predominantly used in the United States, it measures the energy content of natural gas and other fuels. Since natural gas is often sold in therms, it provides a convenient way to understand and calculate energy consumption in heating systems. By defining energy in terms of heat, the therm offers a practical means to translate energy requirements into real-world applications like home heating or industrial processes. This unit is vital for utility companies, engineers, and consumers alike.

A Megajoule (MJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one million joules. Used to quantify energy in various contexts, including electricity, heat, and mechanical work, a megajoule can be applied to measure energy consumption in vehicles, heating systems, and industrial machinery. It allows for a standardized understanding of energy transfer and consumption across different fields. The megajoule's versatility makes it an essential unit for scientists, engineers, and energy analysts, facilitating comparisons and assessments of energy efficiency and performance in numerous applications.
