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: 1. 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. 3.1 Open GaBi 1. Open GaBi now. 3.2 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’ (Step 1) 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 database. If you did not save your database here you’ll need to locate it. 3.3 Activating a DB We’ve now connected a database to GaBi. The next step is to activate it. 4. Select the databse that you would like to activate and click the activate button. 5. The GaBi Login window opens – just click OK, we don’t need a password to login. We are now ready to start working in GaBi in the activated database. 29
