ASUENE Inc. announced that its AI Energy Optimization Platform, NZero, has received the 2026 Good Design Award, organized by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion.
This is the ASUENE Group’s fourth Good Design Award, following the AI Sustainability Integrated Platform ASUENE, the Supply Chain Management AI Platform ASUENE SUPPLY CHAIN (formerly ASUENE ESG) and Carbon EX (CEX).
NZero automates energy data collection and uses AI to simulate equipment upgrades, helping companies move from visualisation to real cost savings. Used in Japan, the U.S. and the APAC region, it helps companies with multiple sites manage energy in one place.
The award recognised NZero for simplifying energy data collection and management. It retrieves electricity data automatically without sensors, greatly reducing manual entry. Its intuitive interface shows data across sites, so users can spot improvements at a glance without specialist knowledge.
ASUENE designs intuitive products that reduce the workload and cost of complex energy management. Building on this award, ASUENE will advance energy management across more facilities and help companies cut energy costs.
Good Design Award Jury Comment
“We valued that the service retrieves data directly from utilities without sensors, uses it to cut costs, and supports investment decisions, not just visualisation. With results in the U.S. and other markets, full-scale expansion into Asia, and more than 5,000 sites deployed, we expect it to help reduce energy costs as industrial electricity prices rise worldwide.”
