Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

1.1.2 Units and conversion help

Course subject(s) 1. Efficiency, primary energy, CO2-emissions, costs and application to boilers

In this course, we use SI (International System of Units) to express values and data. If you are used to other systems, please be sure to convert units for course assignments and quizzes. For example, we express temperatures in Kelvin (K) or degrees Celsius (°C), so if you are used to giving temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit, be sure to convert them to Kelvin or degrees Celsius before submitting your answers.

 

The following document is a useful guide to units and the conventions we follow in this course. Please refer to it if anything is unclear of if you need help with conversions.
