What does Btu (IT)/hour measure?

Btu (IT)/hour measures power as the rate of heat transfer using the International Table British thermal unit delivered or removed per hour, commonly applied in HVAC and heating systems.

Why convert Btu (IT)/hour to attojoule/second?

Converting allows expressing conventional heat transfer rates in terms of extremely small power units used in microelectronics, quantum computing, and nanoscale thermal metrology.

Is attojoule/second practical for everyday thermal engineering?

No, due to the vast scale difference, attojoule/second is primarily suited for specialized scientific fields and not typical thermal or HVAC engineering.
