Therm

Energy Term

Therm is a unit of measurement for heat energy, commonly used in the energy industry. It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. One therm is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs).

Therm is used in the energy industry as a unit of measurement for natural gas consumption. Natural gas is a widely used fuel source for heating and electricity generation. The amount of natural gas consumed is measured in therms, which is then used to calculate the cost of consumption.

Therm is also used in energy efficiency calculations. For example, the efficiency of a furnace or boiler is often measured in terms of the percentage of the fuel energy it converts into usable heat. The energy industry also uses therm to measure the output of power plants, particularly those that produce electricity through the combustion of natural gas.

Overall, therm is a key unit of measurement used in the energy industry to quantify heat energy and natural gas consumption and is crucial for energy efficiency and cost calculations.
