Science - Energy / Power Generation
Portuguese term or phrase: entalpia
Speaking about a hospital's energy consumption

59% diz respeito ao consumo de eletricidade, 28% consumo de gás e 13% de entalpia, representando este total uma diminuição de 5,5% face ao consumo de 2018.

The meaning I have read of enthalpy does not seem to represent an energy source as such. Do they mean 'heat'?
