3.31 View option: Quantities Procedure The tables of numbers that you are now looking at show how many kg of each listed substance is entering and leaving the system. This is because the quantity mass (kg) is selected in the quantities drop down menu. There are a large variety of quantities which can be displayed now for your system. Let´s choose a quantity that tells us some more about the environmental impact of this system. 103. Click in the „Quantity‟ box, scroll up and choose the quantity „CML 2001- Dec´07 Global Warming Potential (GWP 100 years) [kg CO2-Equiv].‟ The balance window now displays all kg CO2-Equivalents for our plan. 104. Expand all the rows to see every substance and quantity of each substance that contributes to the global warming potential result for this system. As you see, only the flow categories Resources, on the input side, and Emissions to air, on the output side, contribute to the global warming potential. This makes sense since it is only these types of flows that contribute to global warming potential. 54
3.32 View option: Quantity view Procedure Another view option is the Quantity view. This view allows you to see the economic, environmental and technical quantities instead of flows. 105. Select the „Quantity view‟ by clicking in the box. All quantities that could be selected in the Quantity Box now appear in the table rows. For example you can now find information regarding how much mass enters and leaves the paperclip product system by looking at the mass values listed under the Technical quantities category in both the input and Output tables. Alternatively, you could deselect the separate IO tables option to view the aggregated results. 106. Look through the „Environmental quantities‟ by double clicking on it until you find the Global Warming potential quantity. 107. Make sure the „separate IO table‟ option is deselected. 108. Deselect the „Quantity view.‟ You should now see all the flows that contribute to GWP again. Here you can see that the flow contributing to global warming potential include flows in the resources category and emissions to air category. You will also notice that the resources total is a negative value. In this view, negative values indicate that there was an input of CO2 on the input side. 55
