Towards the end of the year 2019 the world was affected by the emergence of the SARS-COV- 2 virus. This phenomenon led to mandatory lockdowns throughout several countries. Frontline workers were the only people that had to keep attending in person. The pandemic forced the students from the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) located in Lima, Perú, to continue their courses online. From this new reality arose the necessity to contrast the different values for Greenhouse Gases (GHG) issued from the virtual as well as in-person modality. Thus, to analyze the outcome of the change in activities done by the students of the Civil Engineering faculty. Therefore, this study will analyze the carbon footprint generated by the students of Civil Engineering from PUCP within the virtual modality (for this purpose data from the year 2020 will be taken) and will be compared with the in-person before the pandemic (for this purpose data from the year 2019 will be taken). In short, the carbon footprint generated in universities must be studied and supervised, unlike other studies carried for the in-person modality, in order to analyse, compare and to draw conclusions of the greenhouse gases we are emitting. Therefore, with the results obtained from the sample data taken during the pandemic, it shows that 63.05 tons less of CO2 eq has been emitted during the pandemic in comparison to a full in-person modality year. Nevertheless, the electric energy consumed during a year of online study amid the pandemic was 2.5 times than a year of in-person modality. It is important to emphasize the carbon footprint generated by the online modality. Thus, we can bring possible solutions to reduce these emissions.
