Convert therm (ec) to j
Therm (EC)
The EC therm is a unit of energy defined by the European Community directive as equal to 100,000 International Table BTUs, equivalent to 105.506 megajoules. It is used in European natural gas metering and energy regulations to provide a standardised energy billing unit across member states. The EC therm is numerically identical to the standard therm based on IT BTUs.
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).
