Abstract: A cost accounting system and method of promoting four organizing principles of sustainability measurement: (1) the principle of measuring “sustainably autogenous systems” (nature and behavior) for efficiency engineering to achieve measurable increases in EROEI; (2) the principle of measuring “full spectrum renewable energy technology” to include: (a) integrative design engineering for increased energy production capacity by the combination, synergy and aggregation of solar, wind, geothermal, moving water, biomass conversion; and (b) integrative design engineering to achieve measurable increases in economic capacity of produced capital by infrastructure engineering; (3) the principle of measuring hydrogen-carbon dissociation to achieve measurable increase in renewable energy value and measurable increase in renewable material resource value and (4) the principle of measuring the liberation of local economic talent by creating local jobs in sustainability programs and eliciting local leadership so as to achieve
