How to Access Energy Saving
You must be an Administrator or Safety Manager to access Energy-Saving. See User Roles for more details.
Log in to the Control Centre.
Go to Reports>Operational Insight.
Hover over the Switch Report drop-down menu.
Select Energy-Saving Feature.
Select the location you want to view from the options on the left.
Select the period you want to view.
Select the optimal fridge or freezer temperature. The charts will then update, comparing the optimal temperature with the actual temperature of your assets and displaying potential savings in costs and carbon emissions.
You can view up to 1 year of data.
We calculate cost and carbon emissions based on the UK or US average per kWh. We estimate that you could reduce energy costs and carbon emissions by 5% if you increase the temperature of your equipment by 1°C or 2°F.
To switch from freezer data to fridge data or vice-versa, deselect the optimal temperature of the equipment you are currently viewing, then select the optimal temperature of the other equipment.
Select a period of 1 month or more to analyse trends.
