About Therm and Gigajoule

The therm is 100,000 BTU, about 105.5 megajoules. US natural gas utilities bill household consumption in therms. The gigajoule is one billion joules, roughly the energy in 26 liters of gasoline. District heating and industrial energy contracts bill in gigajoules. One Therm equals 0.1055055853 Gigajoules (1 therm = 0.1055055853 GJ). Therm is used in US natural gas billing and in home heating cost estimates. Gigajoule is used in district heating bills.

Precision and Rounding:Energy factors mix exact definitions (1 kWh = 3,600,000 J; 1 cal = 4.184 J thermochemical) with measured conventions (1 BTU ≈ 1,055.056 J). Nutrition and utility bills round to whole units; engineering heat calculations should keep the full factor until the final step.

Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
