How many kilowatt-hours are in a British thermal unit (IT)?
One IT BTU is approximately 0.000293071 kilowatt-hour.
Detailed answer
Divide joules per BTU by joules per kWh: (≈1,055.056 J/BTU) ÷ (3,600,000 J/kWh). Handy for equipment rated in BTU/h versus kW.
Relationship context
Heating and cooling loads are often converted between BTU and kWh for energy audits.
