What does Btu (IT)/hour measure?

Btu (IT)/hour measures power as the rate of heat transfer based on the International Table British thermal unit delivered or removed per hour.

What is a hectojoule/second?

A hectojoule/second is a metric unit of power equal to 100 joules per second, equivalent to 100 watts, representing energy transfer per second.

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

Converting helps translate heat transfer rates used in HVAC and heating to metric units better suited for electrical and scientific power measurements.
