Convert natural-gas volume in ft³ to energy in kWh using the calorific value. 100 ft³ at CV 0.30 ≈ 30 kWh; typical US CV is 0.29–0.31 kWh/ft³.
— kWh—
| ft³ | kWh (CV 0.29) | kWh (CV 0.30) | kWh (CV 0.31) |

kWh = ft³ × calorific value (kWh/ft³). The CV depends on gas composition — check your supplier’s value.
Common mistake
Using the metric m³ factor (8–12 kWh/m³) on ft³. 1 ft³ = 0.0283 m³, so the kWh/ft³ factor is ~30× smaller.
