Abstract: Utilizing green contracting is a prominent technique to advocate sustainable construction in reducing CO2 emissions from nonroad heavy construction equipment. Although sustainable equipment regulations have established the standard for controlling emissions from equipment, it still mostly executes in the preconstruction phase. However, a method to control emissions during the construction phase to adhere to the green contracting requirements has not been fully developed. Therefore, there is a pressing need for new research to develop a tracking support and control system for monitoring emissions during the construction phase. This paper presented a tracking control optimization model with the capability to identify the potential key date(s) for monitoring the contractor’s green performance to secure the onsite emissions within the terms of the contract agreement. The tracking control model is implemented based on the concept of earned value management for estimating emissions variation and predicting emissions toward project completion. The model is applied to a hypothetical example of a road construction project with an expected result presenting optimal solutions of the emission-tracking date that enables a suggestion for improving sustainable options on the construction equipment fleet. The proposed optimization model should prove useful as a sustainable tracking and control mechanism facilitating project owners in identifying sustainable key date(s) for monitoring the emissions to assure the effectiveness of green contract implementation.
