[Greenbuilding] wood split or not, make a difference?

[Carroll Hampleman]

Why is it that the number of BTU's in a cord of wood is the same number of 
"Seconds Per Year" ?

I think species and moisture content  are what determine heat output. Pitch 
filled knots might add some BTU. And  that is about it for the wood end of 
things.
