Compute Fuel for Building Operating Energy Consumption

If your operating energy output is in MJ or BTUs rather than physical units of fuel, this dialog can be used to convert the fuel-specific energy value into physical units.

For each "Energy Type" (except Electricity) there is a energy type specific conversion dialog that will convert from Energy units (MJ or BTU) to the purchased unit of measure for the specific energy type.

Enter the "Input Quantity" then select the appropriate "Unit" (MJ or BTU) and the quantity of the "Energy Type" will be automatically calculated for you using a non-editable conversion factor.
