Environmental Sustainability of Project Schedule Management by Earned Value Analysis

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The innovative aspect of this study is the explicit incorporation of environmental sustainability metrics into conventional Earned Value Analysis (EVA) to facilitate schedule-driven decision-making in construction projects. The proposed approach differs from traditional EVA by connecting Schedule Performance Index (SPI) trends with environmental impact indicators. This helps project teams find out what is causing delays early on, use fewer resources, and cut down on environmental losses. The study further illustrates this integration through actual Indian construction case studies, demonstrating how EVA-based monitoring facilitated proactive responses to Cyclone Tauktae, timely insurance claims, and the planning of sustainable recovery actions—an aspect previously unexamined in EVA-centric research.
