Key Terminology
- Heat Density (Volumetric Heat Capacity)
- A measure of heat stored per unit volume per degree change in temperature.
- Joule per Cubic Meter-Kelvin (J/m³·K)
- The SI unit expressing the amount of heat energy stored in a cubic meter of material for each Kelvin degree change.
- Btu per Cubic Foot-Degree Fahrenheit (BTU/ft³·°F)
- A unit used primarily in the US customary system to express heat density of building materials and HVAC applications.
