Sažetak

Environmental aspects and impacts are important components of the international standard ISO 14001:2004. This standard represents a possible way of introducing an environmental management system in an organization. Environmental management systems help in achieving ecologically sustainable development and environmental performance of the organization. This paper introduces a systematic approach for the determination of environmental aspects, possible ways of their evaluation and deals with potentially adverse environmental impacts of an academic institution on the example of the Faculty of Geotechnical Engineering, University of Zagreb. As the significant aspects for the Faculty, within the waste management process, the separation and storage of the waste electrical and electronic equipment (including the fluorescent lamps), toners and hazardous chemicals were determined. Additionally, the use of electricity and the use of natural gas for heating purposes of the Faculty were estimated to be normal, according to the European practice.
