Answer:

Exergonic or Exothermic (see explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're talking about heat energy specifically, then the term is exothermic, meaning that the system loses heat. If referring to overall energy of a system, the term is exergonic, meaning that the system does work on the surroundings and is thus losing energy.
