Energy
Convert British thermal unit (BTU) to kilowatt-hour (kWh). Energy is the capacity to do work or transfer heat — the currency of every heat and material balance.
1 BTU = 0.0002930711 kWh
To convert British thermal unit to kilowatt-hour, multiply the BTU value by 0.0002930711. To go the other way, divide by 0.0002930711 (or multiply by 3412.142).

Heat duties integrate to energy in kJ, MJ, or BTU; utilities are billed in kWh or MMBTU.
A calorie, a BTU, and a joule are all energy — keep the conversion factors handy when a spec mixes them.
