British Thermal Unit (IT)
The British thermal unit (International Table), abbreviated Btu (IT), is a unit of heat energy defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit under the International Steam Table convention, equal to 1,055.06 joules. It is the most widely used BTU variant in engineering, HVAC, and energy industries in the United States. The IT designation distinguishes it from the thermochemical and other historical BTU definitions.
Joule
The joule (/dʒaʊ,dʒuːljawl, jool; symbol: J) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force's motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N⋅m). It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818–1889).
