The British Thermal Unit (BTU) is the basic measure of heat energy in the Imperial system. One BTU is defined as the amount of heat necessary to raise 1 pound (0.454 kg) of water 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.55 degrees Celsius). Knowing the number of BTUs required per square foot of space is important in choosing the right size furnace and air conditioning system to heat and cool your house efficiently and effectively. You'll have to determine the amount of space to be heated or cooled and choose the right furnace or air conditioner unit for the job.
