What is a therm (EC)?

The therm (EC) is a unit of energy used mainly in Europe, defined as 100,000 British thermal units and roughly equal to 105.5 megajoules or 29.307 kilowatt‑hours.

What does pound-force foot (lbf*ft) measure?

Pound-force foot (lbf*ft) is an imperial unit of energy representing work done when a one pound-force moves a distance of one foot in its direction.
