How to Convert Joule per Second per Square Meter per Kelvin to Kilocalorie (IT) per Hour per Square Foot per Degree Celsius

Conversion Formula

1 J/(s·m²·K) = 0.08 kcal/(h·ft²·°C)
1 kcal/(h·ft²·°C) = 12.518 J/(s·m²·K)

Example

Convert 15 J/(s·m²·K) to kcal/(h·ft²·°C):

15 J/(s·m²·K) = 15 × 0.08 kcal/(h·ft²·°C) = 1.198 kcal/(h·ft²·°C)
