3.13 Parameters Here you see the parameters area. By entering parameters, you can create what if scenarios as well as determining certain aspects of this process’s relationship to other processes. The parameter area is closed for now and for now we will not go deeper into this. You now see a series of tabs. Since GaBi is designed to carry out a large variety of evalulations, it is possible to enter additional information relating to financial analysis and life cycle working environment. 3.14 ILCD Documentation You can also add ILCD documentation. For the time being we will focus on the current LCA tab. You have the possibility to enter additional information relating to this process such as its year, region, completeness and additional comments. Adding this information improves the quality of your process information but does not affect the results calculated by GaBi. You can enter some information here if you like or carry on. 3.15 Entering inputs and outputs You can see two display areas called inputs and outputs. In the input field all flows that enter the process can be entered. These inputs could include different forms of energy, like compressed air, electricity or thermal energy, as well as materials or other consumables like lubricants. On the output side all flows that leave the process are entered. You can for example enter the products and by-products that are produced and also the wastes and emissions arising from the process. Let´s start by entering an input flow. To fold the paper clip you obviously need steel wire to fold. 38
28. Enter the steel wire flow by clicking in the „Flow‟ field, entering „Steel wire‟ and pressing enter. As you type you’ll notice that GaBi tries to predict which flow you are looking for. Go ahead and enter Steel wire and see if GaBi can find what you are looking for. If a number of possible matches are found, the search window will appear and all the flows that contain the word you entered will be displayed. Let´s take a look at that. 29. Click in the field where steel wire is written, type the word „Steel‟ and press enter. You will notice the search box appears listing all the flows containing the word steel. When you look at the Object Group column, you see that a variety of types of flows are listed, metal parts, waste for recovery, metals and consumer waste. 30. Sort the search results according to their object group by clicking on the „Object group‟ header. 39
