Default Spacing between paragraph and new heading

My doctorate style manual requires 3 lines or a tipple space between the
main text of the document (which is to be double-spaced throughout) and a new
heading. How do I triple space between headings without changing the main
body that is double spaced?

Default Spacing between paragraph and new heading

Add Space Before to your headings (12 pts. should be enough if the headings
are already double-spaced). But three lines and "triple space" are not the
same thing. Triple spacing is the equivalent of two blank lines between
lines of text.
