About Kilojoule (kJ)
Equal to 1,000 joules, the kilojoule is the standard energy unit on food nutrition labels in Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union. A typical adult's daily energy requirement is about 8,700 kJ (approximately 2,080 kilocalories), and food packages in metric countries display energy content in kJ.
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.
