Yes. A rock falling from a height has negative joules. When a displacement is in the same direction as the force the work is negative and represents exergy, energy out.

I notice that the "exergy" is in red indicating it is not a word recognized by the system.

This is a fundamental question in physics. Energy is energy into a system and is positive, exergy is energy coming out of the system and is negative. Exergy is like explosion and energy is like implosion. Exercise is energy coming out of the body system.

Joule is a unit of energy and heat, not a temperature.
