Ignoring the blockchain aspect of this for a second, the underlying model her makes me a little hopeful it can tackle some of the more frustrating problems I've experienced in designing energy-efficient buildings, if it ever catches on.
In the building construction industry, there's a huge gap between an optimal energy performing construction and what finally gets built, due to the immense reluctance of clients to deal with the upfront cost or uncertainty associated with newer, high-performing constructions and technologies. It's somewhat mitigated in the commercial sector since commercial clients have incentive to "brand" their buildings as sustainable, but it's depressing as hell in the residential sector. Although it would definitely be harder (albeit, have way more impact) to use the EFFORCE model during new construction versus retrofits.
