About Energy Units

Energy is the capacity to do work. The SI unit is the joule (J). In nutrition, kilocalories (often called Calories with a capital C) are standard. In electricity, kilowatt-hours (kWh) are used for billing. BTU (British Thermal Units) are common in HVAC and heating.

  • 1 kJ = 1000 J
  • 1 kcal = 4184 J
  • 1 BTU = 1055.06 J
  • 1 kWh = 3,600,000 J
  • 1 eV = 1.602e-19 J
