About Joule (J)
The SI derived unit of energy, one joule equals the work done by a force of one newton moving an object one meter. Named after James Prescott Joule, who demonstrated the mechanical equivalent of heat, the joule is used in physics, chemistry, and engineering for all forms of energy, work, and heat.
About Therm (thm)
Equal to 100,000 BTU or approximately 105.5 MJ, the therm is the standard billing unit for natural gas in the United States and United Kingdom. Monthly gas bills list consumption in therms, and one therm is roughly the energy in 100 cubic feet of natural gas at standard conditions.
