What does 1 Btu (IT)/minute represent?

It is a power unit representing the rate of heat transfer of one international British thermal unit per minute, commonly used in engineering and HVAC for thermal power measurement.

When should I use calorie (th)/hour units?

Calorie (th)/hour units are preferred for small heat-transfer rates such as those found in laboratory calorimetry and physiological heat production analyses.

Is the watt the preferred unit for power?

Yes, the watt is the preferred SI unit for power, whereas calorie (th)/hour and Btu (IT)/minute are non-SI units used in specific fields and applications.
