Hyderabad: Telangana on Monday will become the first State in the country to launch a Cool Roof Policy.
The policy, according to Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao, who will formally launch the policy on Monday, is aimed at reducing the urban heat island impact and heat stress, and in the process saving on CO2 emissions and also saving energy.
The ‘Telangana Cool Roof Policy 2023-28″ envisages making Telangana a thermally comfortable and a heat resilient State. The mission under the policy will be to ensure faster adoption of cool roofs in the State, to develop an ecosystem of suppliers, trained manpower, testing, and material to support the implementation of cool roofs. It will also ensure access to cool surfaces for all and ensure effective monitoring and evaluation of cool roof installations.
Apart from leading to a carbon offset of 30 million tCO2, the policy is expected to result in cooler homes, since cool roofs can help keep indoor temperatures 2.13 to 4.3 degree Celsius lower than households with traditional roofs. It will also lower costs since cool roofs need limited maintenance and can save 20 percent in energy costs.
