Info

You can drill down into these results by clicking on a column to view the next level of the model. In this case we can view the results for the sub plan that we created for the end of life phase. 91. Click on the „End of life paper clip‟ column to view the results. The dashboard view gives us an excellent overview of the environmental impacts or the LCIA. 3.32 LCI view Let’s take a look at the LCI. 92. Click the „Balance‟ tab. This tab allows you to view the results as lists rather than charts as well as provides you with a number of options to control what you view. We want to view the LCI. In the top right you can see a number of options and drop down menus. You are currently viewing a single list of all flows shown in mass by kg. This is the life cycle inventory or all flows entering our system from nature in the form of resources or leaving our system in the form of emissions to air, fresh water, sea water and industrial soil. 58
Next to this you find the option “Just elementary flows”. This option allows you to filter out elementary flows. Here you see the significance of specifying if a flow is elementary or non-elementary. 93. Deactivate the „Just elementary flows‟ option to show the „Valuable substances,‟ „Production residues in life cycle‟ and „Deposited goods‟ categories. If you leave this option activated, only elementary flows will be shown in the balance window. 94. Activate the „separate IO tables‟ view and 95. Activate the „Just elementary flows‟ option. In the table you see the total values for each flow category. At the moment you see the flow grouping ´Resources´ on the input side and Resources, Emissions to air, fresh water, sea water and industrial soil on the output side. These are the flows that enter our system from nature and exit our system back to nature. 3.33 Navigating through the balance window By double clicking on the resources row you can expand the list items until all flows appear, by double clicking on subcategories of flows you can expand them too. In fact by double clicking on any bold row you can expand or collapse the items contained within this category. Let us look at the crude oil consumption: 96. Double click on „Flows‟ on the input side to expand/collapse them until you have located the bold „crude oil (resource)‟ row. Now you can see the mass of the aggregated crude oil consumption of your system. 59
