Research on IFC- and FDS-Based Information Sharing for Building Fire Safety Analysis by Jianyong Shi, Jicao Dao, Liu Jiang, Zeyu Pan

“…Although nowadays building information modeling (BIM) has become a buzzword in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) field to facilitate information integration and interoperability, data sharing and exchange are still weak in the traditional interoperability between BIM applications and fire simulation software, since the data schema of them are totally different. In this paper, a quick and accurate approach for information sharing for building fire safety analysis between mainstream BIM applications and widely used fire simulation software has been successfully implemented, based on Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). …”

A Critical Geological Evaluation of the Hydrogen Storage Potential in the Cousland Gas Field, Midland Valley of Scotland by Malcolm Butler, John R. Underhill

“…Despite the disappointing drilling campaign, the field was still developed based on the original Cousland-1 well result and some 0.25 billion standard cubic feet (“scf”) (7.0 million m3) of gas were produced between 1939 and 1965 before the well was plugged and abandoned. This paper draws upon and integrates hitherto unpublished historical records, obtained from the archives of the UK Onshore Geophysical Library, to critically examine the possibility that the Cousland gas field might be re-purposed for hydrogen storage. …”
