How to Access Energy Saving

To access Asset Intelligence (including Energy Saving), you must be:

  • A Customer Administrator

  • Assigned the Asset Intelligence role (see Modify a User for instructions on how to assign this role)

  1. Log in to the CAM+ Website.

  2. Click Asset Intelligence at the bottom left of the page..

  3. Select Energy Saving Feature from the Report dropdown menu.

  4. Select the period you want to view.

  5. 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.
