Key Terminology
- Btu (IT)/hour/square foot/°F
- An imperial unit measuring heat flow per hour through one square foot area per degree Fahrenheit temperature difference; known as the U-value.
- Joule/second/square meter/K
- A metric heat transfer coefficient unit signifying heat flow rate per square meter area per Kelvin temperature difference (equivalently watts per square meter per kelvin).
- Heat Transfer Coefficient
- A measure quantifying the rate at which heat passes through a surface or material per unit area and per temperature difference.
