Convert therm (EC) to gigajoule
Please provide values below to convert therm (EC) [thm (EC)] to gigajoule [GJ], or Convert gigajoule to therm (EC).
1 thm (EC) = 0.1055056 GJ. To convert therm (EC) to gigajoule, multiply the value by 0.1055056; to go the other way, divide by it (1 GJ = 9.47816987913 thm (EC)). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 thm (EC) = 0.1055056 GJ
- 1 GJ = 9.47816987913 thm (EC)
- 10 thm (EC) = 1.055056 GJ
- 100 thm (EC) = 10.55056 GJ
How to Convert Therm (Ec) to Gigajoule
1 thm (EC) = 0.1055056 GJ
Example: convert 15 thm (EC) to GJ:
15 thm (EC) = 15 × 0.1055056 GJ = 1.582584 GJ

Therm (Ec)
The therm (EC) is a unit of energy used primarily in the measurement of natural gas and heating energy, equivalent to 100,000 British thermal units (BTUs).
History/Origin
The therm originated in the early 19th century as a practical unit for measuring large quantities of heat energy, especially in the gas industry, and has been standardized in various regions for energy billing and calculations.
Current Use
Today, the therm (EC) is used mainly in the natural gas industry and energy sectors to quantify heat energy consumption, although it has largely been supplemented or replaced by SI units like joules and kilowatt-hours in many regions.
Gigajoule
A gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billion joules, used to measure large amounts of energy such as in power generation and fuel consumption.
History/Origin
The gigajoule was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a standard measure for large-scale energy quantities, especially in scientific and industrial contexts, gaining prominence in the 20th century.
Current Use
Gigajoules are commonly used today to quantify energy in fields like energy production, consumption, and engineering, particularly for large-scale systems such as power plants, fuel storage, and energy audits.
