The British thermal unit (BTU or Btu) is a unit of energy used in North America. It is also still occasionally encountered in the United Kingdom, in the context of older heating and cooling systems. In most other areas, it has been replaced by the SI unit of energy, the joule (J).
hoped this helped =)

If you're referring to energy, it stands for British thermal unit.
It is a reference to how many degrees in temperature water will rise in so many minutes or something like that. So, a heater will be rated at 150,000 btu's or 400,000 btu's, etc.
