You have: watt You want: btu conformability error 1 kg m^2 / s^3 1055.0559 kg m^2 / s^2 You have: watt hour You want: btu * 3.4121416 / 0.29307107
Agreed, my math should have said "btu/hr", which is what any HVAC system is rated in -- how many btus in an hour it can remove. I apologize for the horrendous error, but all of the math stands. Just sed s/btu/btu\/hr/g (also, you can do from watt to btu/hr with the same 3.413 multiplier) -- Alex Rubenstein, AR97, K2AHR, alex@nac.net, latency, Al Reuben Net Access Corporation, 800-NET-ME-36, http://www.nac.net
