Onzo win at 6th International Green Awards
Onzo, the world’s leading expert in energy analytics, is delighted to have won the Best Green Service Innovation award at the 6th International Green Awards, held at the prestigious Natural History Museum, London.
This year, the International Green Awards had a strong focus in rewarding sustainable achievement right across Business, Government & Citizen initiatives that influence positive change.
The Best Green Service Innovation award recognises initiatives that incorporate a genuine sustainability benefit, whilst meeting consumer needs for services. Exhibiting sustainability through the entire supply chain, including the marketing and communications for the product, the winners are selected to demonstrate the standard others should follow and seek to achieve. The winning service provides all the tangible benefits people accept as standard but in a way that lowers the negative impact that may be embodied in providing the service.
Onzo’s entry provides an innovative method of disaggregating domestic energy usage to the appliance level, in order to enable users to gain a better understanding and management of their energy consumption. The service is flexible, compatible with existing and future metering technology, and scalable for mass deployment. It is also important from a utility facing point of view, helping them with problems such as peak shifting.
Dr. Jose Sanchez-Loureda, Onzo’s Data Analytics Team Leader, who accepted the award, commented “This award represents an important recognition for the work Onzo has done over the last three years, in collaboration with our utility partners. Developing this project from the first R&D prototypes to the point of user trials and future commercialisation has been an interesting and rewarding experience. It has been particularly rewarding to work with such a great team, and I'm sure there will be many more innovations in the future.”
Nick Hunn, Onzo’s CTO commented, “Not only are we delighted to have been recognised by the International Green Awards but proud to have been selected from so many other globally established companies. This award recognises Onzo’s position as the prime global player in utility data analytics.”
