The most common unit for heat is a calorie. One calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water 1 degree. this should not be confused with the word calorie used to measure food intake - that is actually the kilocalorie. Units of heat include BTU (British Thermal Unit), calorie, and therm.

Wrong. The calorie is not an SI unit, and it is confusing because it comes in two varieties: gram when spelled calorie (small c) and Kilogram when spelled Calorie (Capital C). The SI energy unit is the Joule.
Calorie is the unit of heat energy in cgs system. One calorie is the heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water through one degree Celsius. But in MKSA system of units, joule is used as the unit of heat energy. One calorie is equal to 4.180 joule. Calorie is usually used in bio chemical changes.
