4. Summary and abstract

In the summary and abstract, the writing must be between 180 to 250 words in one paragraph in Spanish and the other in English.

It must be concise and must indicate: Background, Objectives, Methodology, Results and Conclusions.

Example

Background: Air pollution and climate change are the biggest threats affecting human health around the world. The objective of this article is to determine how the envelope of a building can be improved in relation to indoor and outdoor air so that the owners can enjoy better health, well-being and comfort. The methodology is of a comparative descriptive level, citing studies on how to improve the envelope of a multifamily building. Some of the considerations are orientation, construction materials and mechanical ventilation alternatives. The methods and theories were applied to a specific case study, the multifamily project "El Alcazar" which is located in the district of Santiago de Surco. The results indicate that the apartments with the lowest solar incidence are those in triplex 01, with the most critical being floor 2 with 12.28% of its total area. Furthermore, the proliferation of mold is directly linked to solar incidence, affecting kitchens, bathrooms and entrances as they are the most closed spaces. The apartments have white interior colors and light tones, favoring the capture of natural light. Conclusions , the installation of mechanical ventilation will be necessary on the first floors of triplex apartments 01 and 07.

5. Keywords and keywords

• Keywords comprise 5-12 terms that should be taken from the IEEE Thesaurus .

• It begins with a lowercase letter, is separated by a comma (,) and ends with a period.

Example:

Keywords : envelope, buildings, multi -family, indoor air quality, outdoor air quality , Health.

Keywords : e nvelope, buildings, multifamily building, indoor air quality, outdoor air quality, heath.

 

II) Content of the manuscript

• The articles must have the following structure:
