The problem with the English Imperial system is that there's a different

conversion factor for every unit ... potentially 100 different numbers to

answer your question. If you'll choose one, two, or three specific English

Imperial units, we'll give you their conversion factors to/from metric units,

although those numbers are easily found on line.

What is English metric conversion?

First, there is no "English". Second, there are hundreds on conversion factors between the near-obsolete (conventional) and metric systems.

How to convert metric u-value to imperial unit?

To convert a metric U-value to imperial units, you can use the conversion factor 5.678 to convert W/(m^2K) to BTU/(hrft^2*°F) where W is watts, m is meters, K is Kelvin, BTU is British Thermal Units, ft is feet, and °F is Fahrenheit. Multiply the metric U-value by 5.678 to get the U-value in imperial units.
