How to Convert BTU to kWh?

The conversion factor between BTU (IT) and kilowatt-hour is 0.00029307107017 kWh. To calculate the energy in kilowatt-hours E_(kWh) based on the energy in BTUs E_(BTU), simply multiply the energy in BTUs by the conversion factor:

E_(kWh) = 0.00029307107017 × E_(BTU)

Example

Let’s say you have a natural gas furnace in your home that has a heating capacity of 60000 BTUs per hour. You’re curious to know how much energy that would be in kilowatt-hours (kWh), which is a unit commonly used to measure electricity consumption.

To convert BTUs to kWh, we need to use a conversion factor. The conversion factor for BTUs to kWh is approximately 0.000293, which means that 1 BTU is equal to 0.000293 kWh.

So, to convert the 60,000 BTUs per hour to kWh, we can multiply it by the conversion factor:

60000 BTUs/hour * 0.000293 kWh/BTU = 17.58 kWh/hour

Therefore, your natural gas furnace with a heating capacity of 60000 BTUs per hour would consume approximately 17.58 kilowatt-hours of energy per hour.
