Abstract-Sustainability is now a major concern in society, but there is little understanding of how it is perceived by software engineering professionals and how sustainability design can become an embedded part of software engineering process. This paper presents the results of a qualitative study exploring requirements engineering practitioners' perceptions and attitudes towards sustainability. It identifies obstacles and mitigation strategies regarding the application of sustainability design principles in daily work life. The results of this study reveal several factors that can prevent sustainability design from becoming a first class citizen in software engineering: software practitioners tend to have a narrow understanding of the concept of sustainability; organizations show limited awareness of its potential opportunities and benefits; and the norms in the discipline are not conducive to sustainable outcomes. These findings suggest the need for focused efforts in sustainability education, but also a need to rethink professional norms and practices.

“…In IEEE Software, Penzenstadler et al [14] were considering the five dimensions of sustainability-human, social, environmental, economic, and technical-all but one can be supported to some extent by current software engineering methods because the concerns are not new, per se. They were claiming that missing from consideration is environmental sustainability.…”

Energy has become the keyword relevant to the economic and social development and sustainability of all countries as well as the ecological future of the world. Knowledge-based strategic planning and decisions in energy are therefore very crucial for all. Knowledge may be defined as the information needed for good planning and intelligent decisions for any human being, from a lay man to a top man in a public or private organization up to even the country president. In the article, after some introductory remarks about energy and knowledge, knowledge -energy relation is defined. Smart cities and intelligent utilities / smart energy, Energy Engineering and Knowledge Engineering terms are also elaborated. As a conclusion, the synergy and even a symbiosis between energy and knowledge is noted and it is stated that energy engineering and knowledge engineering together with nano science and technology will be very crucial for the future of humanity.
