Detailed Solution

Le Chatelier's principle states that if the forward reaction producing the products is endothermic, lowering the temperature will increase the relative amount of reactants while favoring the yield.

CaO(s)+CO2(g)CaCO3(s)+180kJ

Being endothermic, a rise in temperature will cause the reaction to shift to the right and produce more energy.
