About AAERL
AAERL, Advanced Alternative Energy Research Labs, measures how machines use energy. We publish the method we use, JL-26 Edition 2026 r0, and audit systems against it.
What we do
- Publish the method. JL-26, the Joule Ledger, with its formulas, defaults and the basis for each.
- Audit systems. A Joule Ledger Assessment measures one system at declared meter points, with AAERL present.
- Advise teams that measure their own systems (advisory).
- License the method for commercial use across a fleet (enterprise license).
Who we work with
| Buyer | Typical question |
|---|---|
| AI labs and inference teams | How much energy does each useful answer cost, at a stated boundary? |
| Data-center operators | What is our Overhead Ratio over twelve months, and how will the EU rate it? |
| Chip and hardware makers | How do we report efficiency that a buyer can compare fairly? |
| Robotics and edge-device companies | Will the device finish its task within its reserve? |
| University energy and computing groups | How do we report energy for new kinds of computing at a matched boundary? |
How we work
- Every number has a meter point and a direction: higher or lower is better.
- Every ledger is checked for closure, and a ledger that fails is reported as not closed.
- Every result is labeled Measured, Estimated or Projected, and graded Declared, Witnessed or Replicated.
- Every claim is labeled Proven, Probable or Open. See labels and grades.
- No green adjectives without numbers. We describe energy with numbers, units and meter points. We do not call any system "green", "sustainable" or "clean" without the figures that support it.
- No invented proof: no testimonials or results we cannot show.

Questions
Where is AAERL based?
In the United States. Our terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
Does AAERL sell hardware?
No. AAERL publishes a method, audits against it and licenses it. Measurements use calibrated analyzers and facility meters.
