Abstract : Cloud Computing is an emerging as a new paradigm that will change the way IT centers in business and industry are
utilizing computing infrastructures, software and platforms as services. Organizations and institutions are seeking avenues to
effectively access data, resources and applications in a secured manner over the internet by utilizing the cloud computing
concept. By using this concept reduction on the environmental impact of computers usage with particular emphasis on
reduction of energy consumption and carbon footprint can be achieved. This study concentrates on the application of cloud
computing in SEGi University and its impact on the energy consumption and carbon footprint. This is done by comparing the
existing server-based computing with cloud computing. The comparison is based on the carbon footprint effect on
environment and energy consumption in the university. Based on the outcome of the study, followed by redesign of the current
server-based computing model is redesigned based on the cloud computing concept. A field study is conducted to estimate and
calculate the energy consumption and associated carbon footprint between the two models.
The results showed that for 2013 the energy consumption of the server-based is about3GWh/year with its associated carbon
footprint of 265,217kgCO2eqv/year. The proposed redesign paradigm showed reduction of 63% in the energy consumption
and 64% in the carbon footprint.
