What does one watt represent?

One watt is the SI derived unit of power, equal to one joule of energy transferred or converted per second.

Why convert watts to Btu (IT)/second?

Converting watts to Btu (IT)/second is useful for expressing heat transfer rates in thermal system design and HVAC applications that use British thermal units.

Does this conversion account for system inefficiencies?

No, the conversion assumes steady-state power and direct equivalence, not accounting for inefficiencies or energy losses.
