    Our new article entitled "Research on IFC-based Storage and Application of Sensor Information" has been published in "Journal of Graphics", 2018, Vol. 39, No. 03. In this paper, IFC-based sensor information storage method and application process are presented. Specifically, the description and association mechanism of sensor information in IFC are analyzed, followed by the extension of IFC property set to achieve the storage of such information. Finally, the IFC-based application process of sensor information is described. The proposed methods were applied to the HuaiFang Water Reclamation Plant in Beijing for validation.
