Explanation

British thermal units and kilowatt-hours are units of energy. They are used in common measurement contexts. Which one you use depends on the unit system or industry. They are defined at different scales, so the factor is not 1: 1 British thermal units = 0.0002930711 kilowatt-hours, and 1 kilowatt-hours = 3412.1411564884 British thermal units. Because one kilowatt-hours represents a larger amount than one British thermal units, the numeric value gets smaller in this direction.

How to convert British thermal units to kilowatt-hours

  1. Enter the value in British thermal units (BTU).
  2. Multiply it by 0.0002930711.
  3. The result is the equivalent value in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
  4. Round the result if needed.

Worked example
