- 18
Quick answer
Airflow heating or cooling duty in MMBtu/hr equals 1.08 x CFM x temperature difference, divided by one million.
MMBtu/hr = (1.08 x CFM x dT) / 1,000,000

Frequently asked questions
When would I use MMBtu instead of BTU?
MMBtu is common in utility billing, boiler plant capacity and large commercial/industrial energy accounting.
Does this include latent heat?
No — this is sensible heat only; add latent load separately for full cooling/heating duty.
What do I need to enter into the CFM to MMBtu Calculator?
Just 2 values: airflow, temperature difference. Every field starts with a realistic example, so you can change one number at a time and watch the result update instantly.
How does the CFM to MMBtu Calculator work out the answer?
Airflow heating or cooling duty in MMBtu/hr equals 1.08 x CFM x temperature difference, divided by one million. It applies the formula MMBtu/hr = (1.08 x CFM x dT) / 1,000,000 and shows the working so you can check each step by hand.
Is the CFM to MMBtu Calculator free, and do I need an account?
It is completely free with no sign-up, no download and no usage limit. Everything is calculated in your browser, so the numbers you type never leave your device.
