Celtic and Rangers achieve energy savings

Practical Facilities Management

Celtic and Rangers Football Clubs plan to conserve energy and meet their environmental obligations with the help of Audits Unlimited, the leading Glasgow-based utility consultancy.

The clubs have signed three year agreements with Audits Unlimited to provide a complete utility management service covering electricity, gas and water.

Being completely independent Audits Unlimited is able to negotiate the best prices from utility suppliers. By using their expertise and market intelligence, Audits Unlimited will advise the clubs on the best time to purchase energy contracts in very volatile markets. The company will constantly monitor the clubs' bills and consumption data to make sure that utilities are being employed in the most efficient way. This will involve using sophisticated technology such as data loggers which will continuously monitor and track gas, electricity and water consumption and flag up exceptions for further investigation.

The new, patented technology will allow Audits Unlimited to monitor utility consumption on a daily basis and reveal unusual patterns of energy and water consumption. Consumption data is transmitted to a central computer, where it can be closely monitored. This makes it relatively easy for experts to spot increased use of energy, gas or water leaks.

Audits Unlimited will also deal with the administration of all utility bills, investigating queries and resolving disputes, as necessary, on behalf of the clubs.

Spokesman for Rangers, Ross Macaskill, Facilities Manager said: "Audits Unlimited will help the Club make sure that utilities are being used in the most efficient and effective manner. We spend a significant amount of money each year on utility costs. We believe that Audits Unlimited will not only save us money, but also support our desire to be environmentally prudent by reducing CO2 emissions."
