Power in a thermal system is BTU’s per hour.
In energy analysis the conversion from one unit to another is inevitable. Below shows conversion factors used in energy analysis.
FullSpectrum Energy help organizations carryout energy analysis of their facilities, to know how energy is used, identify Energy Conservation Opportunities (ECO) and Measures (ECM) to be deployed towards energy efficiency.
