  2. Equivalence of direct radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_of_direct...

    Measured in square feet, the reference standard for EDR is the mattress radiator [1] invented by Stephen J. Gold in the mid 19th century. One square foot of EDR is able to liberate 240 BTU per hour when surrounded by 70 °F (21 °C) air and filled with steam of approximately 215 °F (102 °C) temperature and 1 psi of pressure.

  3. British thermal unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_thermal_unit

    The SI unit of power for heating and cooling systems is the watt. Btu per hour (Btu/h) is sometimes used in North America and the United Kingdom - the latter for air conditioning mainly, though "Btu/h" is sometimes abbreviated to just "Btu". [18] MBH—thousands of Btu per hour—is also common. [19] 1 W is approximately 3.412142 Btu/h [20]

  4. Thermal transmittance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_transmittance

    These heat flux meters usually consist of thermopiles which provide an electrical signal which is in direct proportion to the heat flux. Typically they might be about 100 mm (3.9 in) in diameter and perhaps about 5 mm (0.20 in) thick and they need to be fixed firmly to the roof or wall which is under test in order to ensure good thermal contact.

  5. Passive house - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_house

    The passive house standards in Europe set a space heating and cooling energy demand of 15 kWh/m 2 (4,750 BTU/sq ft) per year, and 10 W/m 2 (3.2 Btu/h/sq ft) peak demand. In addition, the total energy to be used in the building operations including heating, cooling, lighting, equipment, hot water, plug loads, etc. is limited to 120 kWh/m 2 ...

  6. Therm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therm

    The therm (symbol, thm) is a non-SI unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 British thermal units (BTU), [1] and approximately 105 megajoules, 29.3 kilowatt-hours, 25,200 kilocalories and 25.2 thermies. One therm is the energy content of approximately 100 cubic feet (2.83 cubic metres) of natural gas at standard temperature and pressure. However ...

  7. Thermal conductance and resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductance_and...

    It quantifies how effectively a material can resist the transfer of heat through conduction, convection, and radiation. It has the units square metre kelvins per watt (m 2 ⋅K/W) in SI units or square foot degree Fahrenheit–hours per British thermal unit (ft 2 ⋅°F⋅h/Btu) in imperial units. The higher the thermal insulance, the better a ...
