A joule (J) is the SI derived unit of energy, representing the energy transferred by a force of one newton moving an object one meter, or equivalently one watt-second.

What is therm (EC) used for?

Therm (EC) is an energy unit used primarily in European contexts for billing and metering natural gas consumption and reporting energy statistics.

Can I use this conversion for all energy types?

No, this conversion is mostly relevant for energy associated with natural gas and may not be appropriate for other energy forms.
