how do skyscrapers heat/cool all of their space and not overdraw electricity?

What form of energy are they using for the heating? Surely can’t just be a giant oil furnace…. And what are the electricity costs for operating such a massive building? The draw from the grid must be insane

Depends upon how the building is designed. Some cities have steam lines in the street, others have fuel oil or natural gas, others have electric boilers.

They zone the different areas so that different spaces can be set to the occupant’s preferred temperatures.
