11.  To overcome this challenge tariff restructuring as well as
reform are needed
 A draft proposal for the tariff reform has been developed in
2012.
 For residential sector the target is to reduce the number of
blocks into four blocks including blocks for
1. Poor 100 kWh
2. low income 200 kWh
3. break even block
4. block at the system marginal cost

16.  A ministerial decree (482/2005) by the Ministry of Housing
Utilities & Urban communities has been issued on 20/12/2005
for enforcement of E.E. code for residential buildings, and
(190/2009) for E.E. commercial buildings code
 Developed administrative building code has been incorporated
in the Unified Building Law.
 Legislation is needed to ensure enforcement mechanisms for
adoption of energy efficiency building codes where the
expected savings from S& L program and EE building codes
could reach 20 to 25% of the consumption.

18. Rating
The Green Pyramid Rating System (GPRS) is a national
environmental rating system for buildings. It provides definitive
criteria by which the environmental credentials of buildings can
be evaluated, and the buildings themselves can be rated.
1- Green pyramid
2- Golden Pyramid
3- Silver pyramid
4- Certified
