ABSTRACT

Use the Microsoft Word Style Template at heatisland2009.lbl.gov.This
will format your title, author(s), and "Abstract" heading automatically.
Then you can choose the appropriate style (from the styles in this file,
as needed ---see Microsoft Word help feature if you have questions) for
the remainder of the headings (Headings 1 through 3), figure and table
titles, and the main text (normal).

Note that the "Abstract" heading is in 12-point Times Roman or Times New
Roman, **boldface**, and all capital letters. The abstract should be a
maximum of 250 words. Do not double-space (or insert one line) between
paragraphs. However, insert two lines before the "Abstract" heading, one
line after "Abstract," and one line before the next heading,
"Introduction."

# Introduction and General Formatting Instructions \[This Is a Level 1 Heading\]

These instructions portray how your finished paper should look when
printed on your printer. If you follow these instructions, your paper
will look professional and identical to other papers in the Proceedings.

Indent the first line of each new paragraph. Use full justification,
letting the text wrap---no hard returns except when starting a new
paragraph. Use 12-point Times Roman or Times New Roman. Single-space
lines, even between paragraphs; double-space before starting a new
heading.

Margins must be 1\" top, bottom, and sides.

Do not number your pages. Maximum paper length is 12 pages. If your
paper exceeds 12 pages it may be difficult to get it published. Please
proofread your paper carefully! SICCUHI will help with some editing and
English.

## Title and Author Listing \[This Is a Level 2 Heading\]

Begin your title at the top margin of your paper in 14 point
**boldface** with initial caps, and type no more than three lines,
centering each line. Insert a single line before the first author's name
and affiliation. Use different lines for authors at different
affiliations, and use 12 point ***boldface italic*** and initial caps.
Include the author's first name, middle initial (if desired), last name,
and departments**.** name of firm or institution, city, state and
country**. Do not include street address, zip code, titles, degrees,
etc.** Insert two lines before the next heading, "Abstract." Do include
the email of the author to whom correspondence is to be sent

## Graphics \[This Is a Level 2 Heading\]

Include a number and caption above each **table** and figure**. DO NOT
automatically number tables and figures.** In general, please follow
these guidelines when preparing graphics:

 avoid graphics with dark backgrounds because they do not reproduce
well;

 use Times New Roman;

-   figures and tables should be referred to by number when cited in the
    text;

-   center all figures and tables, including titles

 cite all tables and figures in the text; and

 do not use sidebars.

### Guidelines on figures \[this is a level 3 heading\]. Notice that a level 3 heading is followed by a period and the text follows on the same line. Figure 1 below is an example of a figure. Center the figure. Place the figure number and caption at the top of the figure, centered. Do not put a period at the end of the caption. Put a single rule around it. Cite all figures in the text. Put the source underneath the figure, centered. If including a picture, insert as a .tif or .jpeg file, not as a .gif.

**Guidelines on tables \[this is a level 3 heading\].** Table 1 below
shows formatting styles for various headings. Place the table number and
caption at the **top** of the table, centered. Do not put a period at
the end of the caption. Use a single rule around the table and center it
on the page. Cite all tables in the text. **9-point through 12-point
font** is acceptable. **All tables must be portrait,** not landscape.

Roman)

## Footnotes \[This Is a Level 2 Heading\]

Use footnotes, not endnotes. Use numbers for the footnotes, and place
them in text after periods or commas.[^1] **Footnotes are used for
comments and clarification, *not* for references.** The footnote should
appear on the same page on which it is referenced.

# References \[This Is a Level 1 Heading\]

Use "References" as a heading name (Alliance to Save Energy et al.
1997). Citations should appear in the text as illustrated in the
citations in this paragraph (DOE 1996). Do ***not*** use endnotes
(Elliott, Laitner & Pye 1997). Use 12-point type. Double-space between
each reference; use a hanging-indent of 0.5" (Dooley & Smith 1996; McCue
1997). Follow the examples below and see the Reference Guide for more
information on references and citations (Dooley & Smith 1997). Note that
abbreviations for states follow *The Chicago Manual of Style* rules
(e.g., Ill. for Illinois).
