Enter the energy in kilowatt-hours and the conversion factor into the calculator to determine the energy in British thermal units. This calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.

Kwh To Kbtu Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the energy conversion from kilowatt-hours (kWh) to British thermal units (kBtu).

EB = K * C

Variables:

  • EB is the energy in British thermal units (kBtu)
  • K is the energy in kilowatt-hours (kWh)
  • C is the conversion factor from kWh to kBtu (3.412142)

To calculate the energy in British thermal units, multiply the energy in kilowatt-hours by the conversion factor from kWh to kBtu.

What is a Kwh To Kbtu?

A Kwh to Kbtu is a conversion from one unit of energy to another. Kwh stands for kilowatt-hour, which is commonly used in electricity billing and energy usage in homes. Kbtu stands for kilo British thermal units, a unit often used in the heating and cooling industry. The conversion is used to compare energy efficiency or consumption across different systems or appliances, with 1 Kwh being approximately equal to 3.412 Kbtu.

How to Calculate Kwh To Kbtu?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Kwh To Kbtu using the formula EB = K * C.


  1. First, determine the energy in kilowatt-hours (Kwh).
  2. Next, determine the conversion factor from kWh to kBtu (C).
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = EB = K * C.
  4. Finally, calculate the energy in British thermal units (kBtu).
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

energy in kilowatt-hours (Kwh) = 50

conversion factor from kWh to kBtu (C) = 3.412142
