Pound Hour Square Footlb·hr·ft²
Target UnitThe pound hour square foot (lb·hr·ft²) is a composite unit of measurement that combines mass (in pounds), time (in hours), and area (in square feet). It is primarily used in the context of thermal energy transfer and heat flow calculations, particularly in engineering and building sciences. This unit captures the concept of energy transfer per unit area over a designated time interval, allowing for the analysis of how heat or energy is distributed and transferred in various materials and systems under specific conditions.
Current Use
Today, the pound hour square foot is widely used in the fields of mechanical engineering, HVAC design, and building physics. It is crucial for calculating the efficiency of heating systems, insulation performance, and energy consumption in residential and commercial buildings. This unit helps engineers and architects design systems that optimize thermal comfort while minimizing energy use, reflecting growing concerns about sustainability and energy efficiency.
Fun Fact
The pound hour square foot is often used in energy audits to assess building efficiency.

This unit captures the concept of energy transfer per unit area over a designated time interval, allowing for the analysis of how heat or energy is distributed and transferred in various materials and systems under specific conditions.
History & Origin
The pound hour square foot emerged in the early 20th century as engineers and scientists sought to quantify the efficiency of heat transfer processes in buildings and industrial systems. This composite unit was developed to facilitate the analysis of energy flow in terms of mass, time, and area, which are critical factors in thermal dynamics.
Etymology: The term 'pound' derives from the Latin 'pondus,' meaning weight; 'hour' originates from the Latin 'hora,' related to time; and 'square foot' comes from the Old French 'foit,' meaning 'to place' or 'to put,' referencing the area measurement.
Current Use
