This step towards achieving the POE assessment in the building regulations in Egypt also acts as a safeguard to minimize the effects of future energy price increases. Research aim to examine the emerging design strategies employed to achieve POE assessment model in the building regulations in Egypt‚ as well as capital and POE implications in achieving the various Green assessment tools. Study will address the POE methodology at national level based on lessons
