How it's used
Beyond literal thermal or military contexts, this word is frequently used metaphorically to describe the intensity of effort or resources applied to a task. You will often hear it in professional settings when discussing how much manpower or capital is being directed toward a specific project. It carries a sense of concentrated, active force rather than just raw potential.
Examples
This stove has strong heat, it cooks things very quickly.
When playing games, where did you find such a high-firepower weapon?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with temperature terms like 熱度. While related to heat, it specifically refers to the capacity to generate heat or the intensity of a discharge, not the ambient temperature of an object or environment.
