What this is
A research home
The public scholarly landing for an interdisciplinary programme on verified energy conservation. It is not a token project, consultancy funnel, or software storefront.
Research programme
Negawatt Economy Research Collaborative
Researching verified conservation across energy, ecology, engineering, law, economics, and governance.
We study how conservation can be measured as a physical quantity, verified as evidence, interpreted across system boundaries, and valued without corrupting the underlying unit.
Published
Four papers in sequence
Philosophy (EarthArXiv), legal doctrine (SSRN), Protocol Public 1.0, and the 2026 equations preprint. An economics paper is in research.
Now
Open questions
Issuance is settled at 1 NWT = 1 MWh of verified energy conservation. Overlay valuation, Deep Solar Time, and institutional capture remain labelled unresolved where they are unresolved.
