entalpia

Portuguese to English Science Energy / Power Generation
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'?

Não é apenas calor mas se trata do calor armazenado na substância + aquela do sistema levando em conta seus níveis de pressão;

Enthalpy is a concept used in science and engineering when heat and work need to be calculated.
