The Royal Household is constantly looking at new ways of saving and supplying and supplying power so as to remain as environmentally friendly as possible well into the future. There are recently plans for two hydro-electric (水力发电) arrangements which will help them run from environ-mentally friendly power sources.
As well as being the Queen’s official London living place, Buckingham Palace is the place for a lot of receptions, audiences and banquets each year and houses about 600 full and part-time employees. It therefore needs to provide heat and power for a huge number of people and purposes.
Ron Harper, Deputy Property Manager at Buckingham Palace, is responsible for ensuring that energy is supplied efficiently and effectively. Property section staff are committed (保证) to saving energy wherever possible: “Every five years, things related to the efficient running of the household’s heat and power supplies are reviewed by the team here at Buckingham Palace, meaning that energy efficiency within the Royal Household is constantly under a process of examination and improvement.”
A number of measures have been taken in recent years. In 1995 , heat resonance imaging was used on the Palace to locate (查找) the major areas where heat was beling lost so that heat and energy loss could be reduced. It was found that most heat was being lost through windows and , in particular, through skylights. As a result, double glazing (窗用玻璃) has already been fitted to a number of skylights and is planned for the skylights above the Picture Gallery in the near future. But monthly meetings are held with English Heritage (遗产) to ensure that any changes which are made do not affect the original appearance of the building as a heritage site.

皇室一直在寻找一种新的节省和提供电力的方法，以尽可能的有利于环保。最近他们正计划实施两项水力发电项目，这有助于从环保的角度进行能源供给。
白金汉宫是女王在伦敦的官方居住地，同时也是每年举办许多招待会，接待观众，举行宴会的地方，并且居住着600名全职或兼职的雇员。因此，就需要为这些众多的人员及各种目的提供大量的热能及电力。
白金汉宫物业部的副经理Ron Harper负责保障能源的有效的供应。无论在任何情况下，物业部的员工都要保证节约能源：“每五年，白金汉宫都会有一组成员对热能与电力的有效实施进行评估，也就是说皇室的能源效率一直是在不断的考核与改进的过程中的”。
进年来已经采取了很多措施，1995年，热成像技术就用于白金汉宫来查找损失热能的主要地点，以此降低能源损失。他们发现，大量的热气都是通过窗户而丧失的，尤其是天窗。于是，许多天窗都安装了双层的窗用玻璃，美术室上方的天窗将来也计划安装这种双层玻璃。但每月都会与英国遗产部门举行一次会议，以确保任何变动都不会影响遗址的原貌。
