It is pointed out that, in the past two decades, much progress has been made in the theoretical computation of energetic electron transport and thermalization in the ionosphere. The present investigation is concerned with an optimized scheme which uses the same discrete formalism at all energies, and guarantees numerical energy conservation independently of the energy grid size or configuration. The considered method was employed by Kelley et al. (1977) and by Swartz et al. (1979). Attention is given to energy degradation and reapportionment with energy conservation following inelastic collisions, energy reapportionment with energy conservation of emergent primaries following ionizing collisions, the establishment of consistent sources for numerical comparisons, and an example of an energy grid with the minimum number of cells.
