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

Conversion Formula

1 Btu·ft/(h·ft²·°F) = 1.487 kcal/(h·m·°C)
1 kcal/(h·m·°C) = 0.672 Btu·ft/(h·ft²·°F)

Example

Convert 15 Btu·ft/(h·ft²·°F) to kcal/(h·m·°C):

15 Btu·ft/(h·ft²·°F) = 15 × 1.487 kcal/(h·m·°C) = 22.308 kcal/(h·m·°C)
