20 Analyzing weak points<br />

Procedure<br />

A very nice feature of <strong>GaBi</strong> is the weak point analysis tool.<br />

140. Click on the ‘Weak Point Analysis’ button.<br />

You will notice that some values are highlighted in red. These are the weak points of the<br />

life cycle that correspond to more than 10% of the total sum of the life cycle’s kg CO2-<br />

Equiv. Others values are grey. This means that they contribute minimally to the total result.<br />

You will also notice that some rows and columns completely disappear. This indicates that<br />

they have no contribution at all.<br />

141. Fully expand your table so that you can see every column and every row.<br />

142. Search for the most contributing flows in the categories resources and emissions<br />

to air by double clicking on the categories.<br />

You will notice that carbon dioxide contributes the most to the total result.<br />

20.01 Relative contribution<br />

In the upper right part of the window you can choose between absolute values displayed in<br />

the table and relative contribution.<br />

143. Select ‘Relative contribution.’<br />

You can see that the carbon dioxide emission contributes most to the total result for global<br />

warming potential.<br />
