How to Convert BTU (IT) per Hour per Square Foot per Degree Fahrenheit to CHU per Hour per Square Foot per Degree Celsius

Conversion Formula

1 Btu/(h·ft²·°F) = 1 CHU/(h·ft²·°C)
1 CHU/(h·ft²·°C) = 1 Btu/(h·ft²·°F)

Example

Convert 15 Btu/(h·ft²·°F) to CHU/(h·ft²·°C):

15 Btu/(h·ft²·°F) = 15 × 1 CHU/(h·ft²·°C) = 15 CHU/(h·ft²·°C)
