The autoclave moulding process of composites is characterized by reentrance, capacity and time constraints. Its scheduling directly affects productivity and production cycle of composites. Scheduling methods in the existing literature can't meet the requirements of its scheduling optimization. Aiming at improving utilization and reducing energy consumption of autoclave, based on the Theory of Constraints, a heuristic algorithm considering the capacity and time constraints is proposed to solve the scheduling problem, and priority scheduling rules are established. The studying of a case shows the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Reduction of energy consumption in the affordable housing sector is highly impacted by human behavior. However, only limited behavior change research exists that is aimed at reducing energy consumption in this sector. This study seeks to implement the first two phases of the community-based social marketing (CBSM) framework in an affordable housing setting. The goals of the research are to identify the optimal behaviors for energy reduction and to identify the perceived barriers and benefits associated with those behaviors in a low-income housing facility. The results of this study identify five target behaviors along with their barriers and benefits. In addition, the study identifies potential issues and nuances in the CBSM process that researchers should take into consideration during future implementations of CBSM in affordable housing environments.
