kilowatt per kelvin
Thermal conductanceexact by definition
The kilowatt per kelvin is a thousand watts per kelvin, the practical size for whole buildings and large heat exchangers. A building losing 20 kW at a 25 K indoor-outdoor difference has a conductance of 0.8 kW/K. The factor of 1000 is exact, being a decimal prefix.
