Abstract should have no more than 300 words.

EXAMPLE (THIS IS THE TITLE)

MODELING AND ANALYSIS (PRIMARY SECTION)

To determine how effective control of the building operation will impact the building envelope using a combination of hourly computer simulation and hand calculations. This analysis was completed to address the following impact of:

  1. ventilation on indoor humidity,
  2. wall construction on performance
  3. vapour resistance at the interior surface,
  4. winter indoor operating temperature.

THE IMPACT OF VENTILATION ON INDOOR HUMIDITY

Ventilation controls the interior vapour pressure by exchanging moisture-laden air with exterior air at a lower vapour pressure. The moisture production and control of ventilation and temperature of each suite will have some impact on the relative humidity….

Applicable standards (Secondary section)

ASHRAE standard 55-1992. “Thermal Environment Conditions for Human Occupancy”, states limits for interior temperature and RH to satisfy 80% of sedentary or slightly active persons….
