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

Conversion Formula

1 W/(m²·°C) = 0.176 Btu/(h·ft²·°F)
1 Btu/(h·ft²·°F) = 5.678 W/(m²·°C)

Example

Convert 15 W/(m²·°C) to Btu/(h·ft²·°F):

15 W/(m²·°C) = 15 × 0.176 Btu/(h·ft²·°F) = 2.642 Btu/(h·ft²·°F)
