The formula to calculate the Cost Per BTU (CBTU) is:
\[ CBTU = \frac{TC}{E} \]
Where:
Let's say the total cost (\( TC \)) is $100 and the total energy (\( E \)) is 5000 BTU. Using the formula:
\[ CBTU = \frac{100}{5000} \]
We get:
\[ CBTU = 0.02 $/BTU \]
So, the Cost Per BTU (\( CBTU \)) is $0.02 per BTU.
A cost per BTU is a metric describing the cost per one unit of energy, which in this case, is British Thermal Units (BTU). It helps in understanding the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of energy usage.
