Energy measures the capacity to do work or transfer heat.
Energy conversions support nutrition, electricity billing, HVAC sizing, physics, and battery calculations.
Utilities, food science, HVAC, automotive, electronics, and research all use energy units.
Use joules for SI calculations, kilowatt-hours for electric energy, and BTU for many heating and cooling contexts.
The joule is the SI derived unit of energy.
One kilocalorie equals 1,000 thermochemical calories and is the food Calorie commonly used on nutrition labels.
One kilowatt-hour equals exactly 3,600,000 joules.
