we will be clarifying the principle conventions for writing a scientific conference paper. We propose a top-down approach to writing that begins with structuring the article into sections. Each section should, in turn, be structured in and of itself so that
readers can: (i) comprehend the scientific context; (ii) grasp the research questions addressed; (iii) verify methods and results, and (iv) understand the significance of the results. Following the recommendations outlined in the presentation, we seek to make
writing easier, more efficient and enable building simulation scientists to communicate their research effectively with a wide audience.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#202020"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
