Abstract

Cilj rada bio je dati pregled teme ugljičnog otiska, kako se on računa i opisati vlastitu implementaciju kalkulatora ugljičnog otiska. U uvodu, prikazano je globalno zatopljenje kao motivacija za praćenje emisija i izračun ugljičnog otiska. Prvo poglavlje objasnilo je pojam ugljičnog otiska, njegovu povijest, standarde mjerenja i način izračuna. Zatim, u sljedećem poglavlju opisana je svrha postojanja kalkulatora, zajedno s najvećim nedostacima i zašto ti nedostaci ne predstavljaju veliki problem. Analizirana su postojeća četiri kalkulatora kako bi se odredili zajednički parametri. Na temelju analize odabrani su parametri i za njih su navedeni faktori emisija. U posljednjem poglavlju opisana je implementacija web aplikacije za procjenu ugljičnog otiska. Prikazane su korištene tehnologije, arhitektura sustava i svi njegovi dijelovi kroz opise obrazaca, načine implementacije i reprezentativne dijelove koda.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this thesis was to give an overview of the carbon footprint topic, how it's calculated and to describe an implementation of carbon footprint calculator. In the introduction, global warming is presented as a motivation for tracking emissions and calculating the carbon footprint. The first chapter explained carbon footprint, its history, measuring standards and calculation method. Then, the next chapter describes the purpose of calculators, together with their biggest drawbacks and why those drawbacks are not a significant obstacle. Four calculators were analysed to determine common parameters. Based on the analysis, parameters were selected and their emission factors were specified. The final chapter describes the implementation of a web application for carbon footprint assessment. The technologies used, system architecture and all parts of the system are presented through descriptions of patterns, methods of implementation and representative parts of the code.
