Windfall Protocol

Windfall Protocol is a collaborative effort to design a decentralized protocol addressing multi-party coordination challenges faced by place-based energy efficiency initiatives.

The goal of this project is to create an energy efficiency labeling protocol design () to augment residential energy retrofit efforts currently underway as part of the program.

Windfall Protocol's Mission

Energy usage in residential buildings is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions.

Governments at all levels have long recognized energy efficiency retrofits as effective programs that simultaneously achieve environment, employment, and civic awareness goals. Unlocking their full potential however is a massive multi-party coordination challenge across contractors, vendors, utility providers, and owners and occupants… a challenge further complicated by the scope and timing of benefits of efficiency investments extending well beyond an owner or occupants purchase decisions.

A central purpose of the Windfall Protocol project is to design a blockchain-enabled protocol that can help address these multi-party coordination challenges.

Project Roadmap

Development of the Windfall Protocol will happen in several phases, covering the design and development of the protocol to implementation and ecosystem development.

While the Research Group's formal engagement ended in March 2024, collection of feedback and onchain signaling of community participation will continue through the beginning of the implementation phase.


Durham Region Pilot

Organizations and community representatives participating in the Pilot Stakeholder group include:

Stakeholder Discussions

Recordings and other information related to these discussions can be found below. Direct feedback and questions from stakeholders, as well as their identities, have been redacted to ensure an open environment for discussion.


The goal of the community is to contribute ideas and feedback to the development of the protocol itself, as well as promoting innovation on top of the protocol.


The Windfall Protocol Community provides members an opportunity to explore web3 tools and concepts while earning roles and participation rewards.


Other Info

- scoping the design of the protocol in collaboration with stakeholders from across all aspects of the residential retrofit space.

- delivering a pilot of the protocol for the Durham region in Canada.

- facilitating a wider community of interested parties to contribute ideas, funding and projects that innovate on the pilot version of the protocol.

The Windfall Protocol is designed for a proposed real-world pilot implementation. Coordinated by , the pilot will serve in Southern Ontario, Canada, providing owner/occupant controlled building data ledgers to 200,000 homes as part of .

To inform the development of the litepaper, the held a series of discussions with key stakeholders in the proposed Durham Region pilot. These discussions included an overview of the protocol design at key points in its development and provided an open space for questions and discussion among the Research and Stakeholder groups.

Community Membership is open to all individuals who wish to participate. Prospective members can apply by reading the and filling out the .
