What does nanojoule per second measure?

Nanojoule per second quantifies power at extremely small scales, like in microelectronics or photonics, representing energy transfer of one billionth of a joule each second.

Why convert from nanojoule/second to Btu (IT)/hour?

This conversion allows translating very small continuous power measurements into a thermal unit suited for HVAC and heating system analysis, supporting interdisciplinary understanding.

Can this conversion be used for typical HVAC applications?

Due to the tiny values involved, this conversion may not be practical for standard HVAC power measurements without adjusting unit scales.
