Understanding the Units
What is a Quad?
A quad equals one quadrillion (10¹⁵) BTU, about 1.055 exajoules — used in national-scale energy statistics.
Common contexts: national energy reporting (US EIA).
What is a British Thermal Unit?
A British thermal unit (BTU) equals approximately 1,055.06 joules — the energy needed to raise one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
Common contexts: HVAC, natural gas (US), heating systems.
