The term energy accounting refers to a system of goods distribution to replace money used within the technocracy movement. The idea of energy accounting has its roots in the thermal dynamic interpretation of society. In energy accounting, experts would measure the production capacity of society in terms of energy required for production. Citizens within a Technate would then receive an equal amount of energy certificates or energy credits representing a share of the production capacity of a Technate. Each citizen could then allocate their share to the production of good they require.
