If measuring heat, a BTU measures the amount of heat that is required to raise the temperature of a pound of water to 1º Fahrenheit. In terms of air conditioning, the BTU determines the amount of heat the unit can remove from the room. As the BTU rating increases, so does the size, weight and cost of the unit.
