I absolutely love trekking poles. I would not have been able to hike through the spring Sierra snow without them. They save my muscles on the climbs and my joints on the descents. I use two Leki poles with cork grips (use them for skiing in the winter) and will not go overnighting without them. I don't know about energy budget stuff, but I use one hiking
pole in my tent (Eureka one person.)
