- 1. Convert 1 BTU to the J base: 1 × 1,055.05585262 = 1,055.05585262 J.
- 2. Convert from J to kWh: 1,055.05585262 ÷ 3,600,000 = 0.000293 kWh.
- 3. Direct factor check: 1 × 0.00029307 = 0.000293 kWh.
Energy and power are different quantities: kWh is energy, while kW is a rate of energy transfer. “Food Calorie” means kilocalorie (kcal) here.
