btu = the amount of heat needed to raise one pound of water one degree F
A 5000 BTU air conditioner works on 1465 watts. If the BTU, 5000, is multiplied by .293071, the exact amounts are given. However, this does not display the amount of watts utilized by the air conditioner. The voltage and amperes would need to be known in order to figure the watts during usage.
BTU x 1,055.056 = joules
The answer: 17070 BTU The math: 3414 BTU = 1 KVA (KW) so 5 KVA = 17070 BTU
1 BTU = 1055 Joules
btu = the amount of heat needed to raise one pound of water one degree F
Natural gas= 1000 btu per cubic ft, propane =2500 btu per cubic ft and #2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu per gallon. Check the availability & prices in your area and you can figure your answer.
Many factors figure in other than square footage. Such as the height of the ceiling and number of windows. But, for most houses, 20 to 22 btu per square foot will do. 40,000 to 45,000 btu should do.
measure the square footage of your house when you go to purchase your furnace. Then they can change that figure to BTU's.
The BTU usage depends on the size generator. What you need to know to figure this out is the fuel type (propane or natural gas) and the size of the generator (usually measured in kilowatts or KW) and the size of the engine. Once you know these things, you can calculate the BTU. The easiest way is to ask the sales person or manufacturer. They can tell you the BTU.

The answer: 17070 BTU The math: 3414 BTU = 1 KVA (KW) so 5 KVA = 17070 BTU
70000 BTU/hr = 20.5kW > 70000 BTU/min = 1230.9kW > 70000 BTU/sec = 73854.2kW
