What is a therm (EC)?

The therm (EC) is a European unit of energy equal to 100,000 British thermal units, often utilized for natural gas consumption billing and energy statistics.

How does Btu (th) differ from other BTU units?

Btu (th) is the thermochemical British thermal unit, based on the heat to raise one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit using a thermochemical calorie, approximately 1,055 joules.

Why convert therm (EC) to Btu (th)?

Converting therm (EC) to Btu (th) helps translate European natural gas energy units into a commonly recognized unit for heating and cooling equipment rating and fuel energy content.
