Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the main difference between therm (US) and therm (EC)?
-
Therm (US) and therm (EC) are both energy units defined as 100,000 British thermal units, but slight differences in their exact energy content exist due to regional standards.
-
Why would I need to convert therm (US) to therm (EC)?
-
Conversion helps align measurements between American and European energy standards for accurate billing, reporting, and performance evaluation.
-
Can I use this conversion for heating system sizing?
-
Yes, this conversion assists in sizing and energy rating of furnaces, boilers, and heating appliances to accommodate different regional standards.
Key Terminology
-
therm (US)
-
A unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 British thermal units, used mainly in the United States for measuring natural gas and heating energy.
-
therm (EC)
-
A unit of energy used in some European regions, defined as 100,000 British thermal units, applied in natural gas billing and energy reporting.
-
British thermal unit (BTU)
-
A traditional unit of heat energy, forming the basis for the definition of therm units.
