Equation of a system energy provided to the zone

In Eq (2.3) at Engineering reference v.8.5.0 is as follows. Qsys=msys x Cp x (Tsup – Tz) (2.3)

where Qsys is system energy provided to the zone, msys is system air flow rate, Cp is zone air specific heat, Tsup is supply air enthalpy, Tz is enthalpy of the air leaving the zone. There are no units in document.

So, I guess, Qsys is W, msys is kg/s or CMH, Cp is kJ/kgK, Tsup and Tz are kJ/kg. In this case, overall units do not match.

Am I wrong or typo?
