BTU's or British Thermal Units are used to decide the amount of air that can be altered in a set time limit. The larger the air mass you need to change temperature of in a set time determines the BTU rating of the apliance you need. The more cubic area you have the greater BTU rating will be. Actually 1 BTU is equal to the energy required to raise 1 pound of water from 60 degrees to 61 degrees in one hour
