* Weighted average LHV (Low Heating Value) efficiency using
Douglas Fir dimensional lumber and data collected during EPA
emission test. LHV assumes the moisture is already in a vapor
state so there is no loss in energy to vaporize.

Weighted average HHV (High Heating Value) efficiency using
Douglas Fir dimensional lumber and data collected during EPA
emission test. HHV includes the energy required to vaporize the
water in the fuel.
