About British Thermal Unit (BTU)
The British Thermal Unit is the energy needed to raise one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Despite being an imperial unit, the BTU remains standard in the US for rating HVAC systems (a typical home furnace produces 80,000-100,000 BTU/h) and for natural gas pricing.
About Megajoule (MJ)
One million joules, the megajoule is used for expressing the energy content of fuels and industrial energy consumption. One liter of gasoline contains about 34 MJ of chemical energy, and industrial boiler outputs and building energy audits often use megajoules as the standard unit.
