A carbon footprint evaluation was conducted to assess the carbon signature of the carbon signature of the ICT process.The inventory along with network topology assessment aims to determine the reliability and security vulnerabilities. For the adequacy, a total of 290 respondents were surveyed to among them were teaching and non-teaching personnel. A carbon footprint equation was used to calculate the footprint of the network. Based on the findings of the assessments, an action plan for the network was developed. A rehabilitation plan for the Server Room and its component were also included.
