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

Conversion Formula

1 Btu/(s·ft²·°F) = 3600 CHU/(h·ft²·°C)
1 CHU/(h·ft²·°C) = 0 Btu/(s·ft²·°F)

Example

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

15 Btu/(s·ft²·°F) = 15 × 3600 CHU/(h·ft²·°C) = 54000 CHU/(h·ft²·°C)
