Btu - British thermal unit

Btu/h - British thermal unit(s) per

hour

ft3 - c f cubic foot (feet)

GJ- gigajoule (billion joules)

hp - horsepower

J - joule

kJ - kilojoule (thousandjoules)

kW - kilowatt

kWh - kilowatt hour

m3 - cubic metre

Mcf - thousand cubic feet

MMBtu - million british thermal

units

W - watt

*The conversion fac tors indicated by an asterix (*) above are approximate. Converting gasvolumes to energy is estimated, and not exact, as the energy content of natural gas varies

slightly depending on the precise composition of the gas.

To calculate your monthly electricity consumption:

To find your monthly electricity consumption for an electrical appliance or piece of equipment,

take the equipment wattage (W) and divide by 1000, multiply by hours of use per day timesdays per month. This will give you an est imate of kilowatt-hours used per month.

W/1000 * hr/day * day/month = kWh/month

To find your monthly cost, take the energy consumption that applies (kWh) and multiply byyour energy costs.

kWh/month * $/kWh = $/month
