There is a growing demand for sustainable retirement villages in Australia due to an increasing number of ageing population and public acceptance of sustainable development. This research aims to gain a better understanding of retirees’ understanding about sustainable retirement living and their attitudes towards sustainable developments via a questionnaire survey approach. The results showed that the current residents of retirement villages are generally very conscious of unsustainable resource consumption and would like their residences and community to be more environmentally friendly and energy efficient. The cost of energy supply is a concern to majority of respondents. However there is a certain level of concerns from residents too on the extra cost of going green in their residence. Education is required to residents about recycling household waste and how to use available facilities. A better understanding of retirees’ awareness and attitudes towards sustainability issues helps to improve the sustainable developments of retirement villages in the future.

Due to the growing tension of non-renewable energy supply, in order to enhance sustainable development and competitiveness of the die-casting equipment, developing new energy-saving die casting machine is imperative. In this paper the hydraulic system of die casting machine was studied, mainly about how to adjust and improve its oil supply and oil return system, servo technology and pneumatics were applied, the result shows that the new methods can effectively reduce the overall energy consumption, and improve the efficiency of the system.

Increasing public awareness of energy-saving by energy policy is an important way of achieving sustainable development. This paper establishes indicator system to measure the energy-saving awareness of Chinese residents, uses the multiple linear regression method to analyze which energy-saving policy would affect the energy-saving awareness most significantly and finally gets the conclusion that the policies of making laws, conducting propaganda and improving the residents’ education level has a significant impact on raising the awareness of energy-saving, and the policies of increasing price of energy resource, offering energy subsidies, and restricting energy supply can hardly raise people’s awareness of energy-saving.

AbstractIn closing his 2008 Myer Lecture, the scientist and environmentalist Dr Tim Flannery said that this century will be defined by the search for sustainability. How perilous therefore that nowadays there is so much overuse of the word “sustainability” that it has become a cliché. Today's tertiary students studying architecture and energy-related subjects are so exposed to this linguistic devaluation that most of them appear to have accepted the vagueness of the term and are on their way to becoming the next generation of misusers. This paper presents a case study of an attempt to sharpen up the debate with some university students from these particular disciplines. A model of the four principles of sustainable development that has been found to be particularly useful is described. The students in question were challenged to think about the meaning of some of the words ascribed to new buildings and about the implications of the four principles to energy supply systems.
