Abstract

The growing concern about changing weather patterns and global climate change has led to an upsurge in the popularity of green computing and green IT (Information Technology) lately. This study focused on determining the carbon footprint of Babcock University (BU) and also makes available the benefits of green computing and green IT practices. A carbon footprint conceptual framework was designed and the emission-factor based calculation approach was used in the estimation of BU's carbon footprint, using Microsoft excel for the analysis of results. A greenhouse gas inventory was taken using interview method to get all the needed data from the computation of carbon emissions. The total carbon footprint of BU for the year 2013/2014 was discovered to be 33,017.89 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (C02e) with electricity, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), generator use and Faculty, staff and student commuting contributing 46%, 23%, 11% and 11% respectively from the base year.
