Telangana launched “Telangana Cool Roof Policy 2023-2028” for all types of buildings to reduce temperatures in Hyderabad and other urban areas in Telangana.
With this launch, Telangana became the India’s first state to introduce Cool Roof Policy.
The Telangana Cool Roof Policy 2023-2028 aims to reduce the heat island impact and heat stress in Telangana.
This policy encourages and promotes the usage of cool roof.
Telangana has set target to cover an area of 7.5 square kilometers, including 5 sq km in Hyderabad, Telangana in the first year (2023).
The government is set to cool roof an area of 300 sq km of area including 200 sq km in Hyderabad by 2030.
The government of Telangana will make it mandatory for all constructions beyond 600 square yards to factor in a cool roof at the design stage.
Cool roofs are one of the simplest and most cost-effective methods to combat the heat. These will help to keep the indoor air temperature lower by 2.1 to 4.3 degree Celsius compared to traditional roofs.
