Understanding the Units

What is a Therm?

A therm equals exactly 100,000 BTU, or about 105.5 megajoules — the standard unit for retail natural gas in the US and UK.

Common contexts: natural gas billing.

What is a Joule?

The joule is the SI derived unit of energy, equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through a distance of one meter (1 J = 1 N·m = 1 W·s).

Named after James Prescott Joule (1818–1889), the English physicist who demonstrated the mechanical equivalent of heat.

Common contexts: physics, chemistry, engineering.
