($) a	%	($) b	%
	1. Improved enforcement and implementation of mandatory building energy codes and rating system	  FORMTEXT  TA 	  FORMTEXT  Streamlined and strengthened building energy code enforcement leads to universal compliance with existing codes
New voluntary national and/or regional standards for energy efficiency (EE) and "green buildings" lead to implementation of EE beyond existing code requirements
Adopted revisions to national building energy codes and associated official documents lead to more effective implementation and incremental savings
Rating and labeling system for EE in buildings provides clear information to market stakeholders, as well as a technical basis for financial incentives, leading to increased market demand for efficient buildings 
GHG monitoring and accounting system supports effective program evaluation and helps shape future national priorities for energy efficiency in buildings	  FORMTEXT  Organizational restructuring, formalized technical procedures, and training for enforcement officials and private oversight agents
Development of voluntary standards for EE and "green buildings" that integrate and go beyond separate existing codes for lighting, HVAC, and thermal envelopes
Revision of national building code and associated official methodological standards and guidance documents
Development and application of a rating and labeling system for EE in buildings, including standard rating methodologies and proposed linkages to incentives
Development of technical and administrative processes, linked to code compliance and rating systems, for monitoring and accounting of energy consumption and GHG emissions from buildings

2.   FORMTEXT  Expansion of markets for energy-efficient products 	  FORMTEXT  TA 	  FORMTEXT  Technical guidance to producers of energy-efficient building materials and products leads to lower costs, higher quality and performance, and wider availability
Certification and labeling with regard to energy performance lead to greater consumer understanding and demand for efficient building materials and/or products 	Technical assessment of energy-efficient building materials and products in Kazakhstan, noting areas of particular need for technology transfer, technical standards for production and performance, and certification/labeling
Official technical standards for the production and performance of chosen energy-efficient materials and/or products
