David Barrie and Roy Sage of EcoSmart provide an overview of supplementary cementing materials the links between cement and climate change and EcoSmart s SOS software development project. The SOS – or Supplementary Cementing Materials Optimization System – is in development until early 2011. This presentation was given to attendees of the SOS User Consultation Workshop held in select cities across Canada in December 2008 & February 2009 -cities included Vancouver Calgary Edmonton Winnipeg Toronto Ottawa Montreal and Halifax- . After the presentation participants were then engaged in discussion for feedback to assist in the development of the SOS to ensure it is a tool that will respond to the needs of the construction & design industry.
