About Nanowatt per square metre

The nanowatt per square metre (nW/m²) equals 10⁻⁹ W/m². Used in astrophysics and cosmology for quantifying extremely weak radiation fields, such as cosmic microwave background intensity and residual thermal emission from near-absolute-zero objects. Relevant in precision cryogenic sensor calibration. 1 nW/m² = 10⁻⁹ W/m² = 10³ pW/m².

About Thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square metre

The thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square metre (kcal(th)/(h·m²)) equals 4184/3600 ≈ 1.1622 W/m² (1 kcal(th) = 4184 J; 1 h = 3600 s). Used in older continental European and Soviet-era building physics standards for wall and roof heat loss calculations. 1 kcal(th)/(h·m²) ≈ 1.1622 W/m².
