Is kWh the same as kW per hour?

A kilowatt-hour measures the energy an appliance uses in kilowatts per hour. The difference between kWh and kW, and what you see on your bill, is that kW reflects the rate of electricity you use, and kWh indicates the amount of electricity you use.

Is BTU calculated per hour?

BTU/hr is measure of the thermal or heat energy generated per hour and is a measured to used specify air conditioners. The formula for calculating BTU/hr is: Heat Dissipation (Watts) x 3.4192 = BTU/Hr. So if a server has a heat dissipation (output) of 500 Watts the thermal or heat energy generated is 1709.6 BTU/hr.

Is BTU measured per hour?

BTU/hour is aunit of power, measuring energy per unit time, equal to 1 BTU being output in an hour.
