Onzo wins at the Rushlight Awards
Onzo, the world’s leading expert in energy analytics, announces that last night it was recognised with multiple wins at The Rushlight Awards for its suite of innovative appliance detection algorithms. The company was the overall winner, receiving the Best Cleantech Product Award, as well as winning the Energy Reduction Award, designed to celebrate technology and innovation that reduces the use of energy in a commercial or consumer setting. Further, Onzo also received a commendation for the Energy Environmental Award.
Onzo’s appliance detection software disaggregates household electricity consumption into individual appliances. It works from data produced by a single source, such as Onzo’s sensor, allowing users to see an itemised list of where energy was used without needing to install additional hardware on individual appliances. This level of understanding helps consumers save money and reduce the environmental impact of modern living. Furthermore it enables utilities to provide a number of value added services to their customers.
The Rushlight Awards are presented by Eventure Media, and celebrate new technologies, innovations and best practices with holistic environmental benefits. For the awards ceremony Eventure Media commissioned a short film which showcases the capabilities of Onzo’s Smart Energy Kit.
Nick Hunn, Onzo’s CTO, attended the ceremony and said, “We are delighted to win these awards, which highlight the fantastic innovation going on within Onzo. Our data analytics present a huge step forward in providing real value to the industry and helping consumers understand how they use energy. We are proud of both our technology and how we apply it to provide real world solutions to big data. ”
