Abstract

Iz dana u dan sve više se budi čovjekova svijest o okolišu, zbog sve većih zagađenja s kojima se suočava čovječanstvo. Razna područja ljudske aktivnosti utječu na onečišćenje okoliša, a poznato je kako je jedna od najvećih zagađivača upravo građevinska industrija. Samom tom činjenicom danas se proizvode alternativna veziva za beton kao održiva, nova generacija materijala. Zadnjih godina kao jedan od uvjeta izlaska nekog proizvoda na tržište je ekološka prihvatljivost koja se zadovoljava kroz niz standarada i regulativa. Analiza ekološkog otiska (LCA) je metoda kojom se dobiva uvid utjecaja nekog proizvoda na okoliš. Za provedbu analize ekološkog otiska koriste se razni softveri, a jedan od njih je program GaBi čija će se primjena obrađivati u ovom radu. GaBi je osnovan sredinom 90.-ih godina, a danas je uz Ecoinvent program s najrazvijenijom vlastitom bazom podataka. Koristi se u mnogim industrijama u svijetu, a pogotovo u Njemačkoj, na svojem domaćem tržištu. Poput programa SimaPro, tehničko je rješenje s mnogo potencijalnih dodataka za razvoj.

Abstract (english)

Day by day, human awareness of the environment is growing, due to the increasing pollution that humanity is facing. Various areas of human activity affect environmental pollution, and it is known that one of the biggest polluters is the construction industry. Today, alternative concrete binders are produced as a sustainable, new generation of materials. In recent years, one of the conditions for a product to enter the market is environmental acceptability, which is met through several standards and regulations. Ecological footprint analysis (LCA) is a method that provides insight into the impact of a product on the environment. Various softwares are used to perform the ecological footprint analysis, and one of them is the GaBi program, the application of which will be discussed in this paper. GaBi was founded in the mid-90s, and today it is (next to the Ecoinvent) the program with the most developed own database. It is used in many industries around the world, and especially in Germany, in their domestic market. Like the SimaPro program, it is a technical solution with many potential development add-ons.
