3 Procedure Procedure This chapter outlines a step-by-step procedure for conducting an LCA in GaBi. The example used in this manual and in the online video tutorial involves the modelling of the life cycle of 1000 steel paper clips based on German and European datasets. The procedure outlined below contains two types of text: 2. Numbered text indicates that a step should be completed. Text in italics provides explanatory comments about why you might do something or how something works. You will also notice that there are headings scattered throughout the procedure. These correspond (mostly; there are a couple of extra headings here) with the contents found in the video tutorial. The title you see below lets you know what video chapter you are up to. 05 Connecting and activating a database 05.01 Opening GaBi 1. Open GaBi now. 05.02 Connecting a DB The first thing you need to do is connect a database to the software. It could be the case that there is already a database connected. In the GaBi DB Manager you can see if there is already a database connected. Is the Education database or the Paper Clip Tutorial database already connected? 28
If so, you can skip this step. Procedure 2. Otherwise, click on ‘Browse’ under Connect Database. A new window will open where you can locate the database that you want to connect. 3. Go to ‘My Documents > GaBi > DB’ and select either the Education or Paper ClipTutorial 2012 or Scenario Modelling Tutorial database. If you did not save your database here you’ll need to locate it. You’ve now connected a database to GaBi. The next step is to activate it. 05.03 Activating a DB 4. Select the database that you would like to activate and click the ‘Activate’ button. 5. The ‘GaBi Login’ window opens – just click ‘OK’, you don’t need a password to login. You are now ready to start working in GaBi in the activated database. 29
