What is BTU per hour?

BTU per hour is a unit of power used primarily in the American HVAC industry for rating heating and cooling capacity. Residential air conditioners range from about 5,000 to 25,000 BTU/h, with 12,000 BTU/h equaling one ton of refrigeration. Gas furnaces and boilers are also rated in BTU/h. One BTU/h equals approximately 0.293 watts.

What is Megawatt?

The megawatt equals one million watts and is used to describe the output of power plants and large-scale energy systems. A single wind turbine typically generates 2 to 5 MW, large solar farms produce tens to hundreds of MW, and a nuclear reactor generates about 1,000 MW (1 GW). Large commercial buildings may have peak electrical demands in the single-digit megawatt range.
