Btu (IT)
Definition
A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a traditional unit of heat energy, equal to approximately 1,055 joules. It represents the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
History/Origin
The BTU was developed in the 19th century in Britain for measuring heat energy in steam engines and heating systems. It became the standard unit for heating and cooling applications in the United States and other countries.
Current Use
BTUs are used in HVAC systems for measuring heating and cooling capacity, natural gas billing and consumption, appliance energy ratings, industrial heating processes, and thermal energy calculations in engineering.

Watt-hour
W⋅h
Definition
A watt-hour (symbol: Wh) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of energy consumed by a 1-watt device running for one hour. It equals 3,600 joules and is commonly used for small electrical devices and batteries.
History/Origin
The watt-hour was introduced alongside the kilowatt-hour for measuring smaller amounts of electrical energy. It became important with the development of portable electronic devices and battery-powered systems.
Current Use
Watt-hours are used for measuring battery capacity in portable devices, calculating energy consumption of small electrical appliances, monitoring energy usage in electronics, and determining battery life in mobile devices.
