Abstract (11 pt, align left)

The topic of housing has been an important problem to mankind since the beginning of
history. Today, all developing nations of the world are vitally concerned with housing
technology and production. Research activities and publications are increasing and more
scientific procedures are applied in this field. There is a definite need for a non-profit
international body to lead and coordinate all the major activities, practical and academic,
related to the topic of "housing as a human habitat. It is this strong need which gave birth
to the International Association for Housing Science, IAHS, in St. Louis on April 24,
1972 during the Second International Symposium on Lower-Cost Housing Problems.
Keywords: put around 4-6 keywords (10 pt)

1. Introduction (12 pt)

International Association for Housing Science is a non-profit Association
registered in the State of Missouri, USA as a General Not for Profit
Corporation (NP12623). IAHS belongs to all its active individual members.
The President and the six Board of Director members are elected by the
majority of voting members. They form the executive group of the
Association. An Advisory Board formed by a member from each country acts
as the liaison group between IAHS and the countries. The Secretary and

Second titles (11 pt)

The major activities of IAHS are defined in the goals. They can be
summarized by the following two statements:
1. To generate new knowledge through research and assemble all other
available information on housing science and develop means to disseminate
them to all concerned.
2. To sponsor and organize international conferences and workshops on
housing problems at proper places and times to help generate interest and
present innovative ideas and methods. (12 pt)
2.1.1. Third titles (11 pt)
The appointed committees will be the force to secure the success of the
IAHS activities. The members of the various committees will be persons of
high competence and specialists of their professions. They will be selected
from every corner of the world. (12 pt)
3. Tables and Figures (12 pt)
Figures can be black and white. However, for the best quality of non-color
printing, a proper markers and lines setting in the figures should be carefully
arranged.
Tables and figures must be centered. All text and numbers in the figure
should be easily visible and readable. The unit for each axis and the legend
should be provided. Please avoid the usage of vertical lines for column
separation in the tables.
Place figure captions below the figures (see Fig. 1), while table titles are
above the tables (see Table 1). If the figure contains several parts, put the
labels (a), (b) etc.

different shapes to assist the readers in non-color print version.

4. Abbreviation and Units (12 pt)

Abbreviation and acronyms should be defined the first time they appear in
the text, even if it has been defined in the abstract. It is strongly encouraged
that the authors use SI (International System of Units) units only. (12 pt)
5. Equations (12 pt)
Equations should be placed at the center of the line and provided
consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flushed to the right
margin, as in (1). The use of Microsoft Equation Editor or MathType is
preferred.

6. Reference style and citation (12 pt)
Proper citation of other works should be made to avoid plagiarism. When
referring to a reference item, please use the reference number as in [1] or [2-6]
for multiple references. The use of Ref [5]... should be employed for any
reference citation at the beginning of sentence. For any reference with more
than 3 or more authors, only first author is to be written followed by et al (e.g.
in [4]). Each items in references section should be typed using 12pt font size.
