WHAT IS A
BTU
A BTU, or British Thermal Unit, is a basic measure of thermal (heat, enetgy It is the amount of energy needed to cool or heat one pound of water by one degree fahrenheit at a constant pressure We use BTUs to measure the energy output and gu usage per month of American Gas Lamp Works burners
How much gas is needed to produce 1,000 BTU's of energy?
