CIRCULAR

Roc.No.557643/2023/K1, Dated: 08/04/2023

Sub: O/o CDMA, T.S –Telangana Cool Roof Policy 2023-28 –Implementation-
Circular instructions issued - Reg.

Ref: 1.G.O.Ms.No.50 MA&UD (Plg.III) Dept., dt:31.03.2023.

2.Launch of Cool Roof Policy by the Hon’ble Minister for MA & UD,
Industries, IT E&C Dept. for implementation in all ULBs.
*****

Telangana State is geographically located in Deccan Plateau and

vulnerable to heat waves owing to its geographic and topographical context. In
addition to its geographical location, Telangana is on a high growth trajectory
with rapid urbanization, increasing the demand for cooling. Telangana is the 3 rd
most urbanized state in the country, with 47% of its population as urban, which is
likely to exceed 50% soon.

2. The Hon’ble Minister for MA&UD, Industries, ITE&C Dept has launched
“Telangana Cool Roof Policy” on 03.04.2023, and has directed for Target based
approach for effective implementation of the Cool Roof Application in all ULBs of
the State. The Hon’ble Minister has also suggested to adopt the Cool Roof as a
measure for implementation to build resilience against extreme heat, improve
thermal comfort and move the State of Telangana towards reducing urban heat
islands in its cities and to achieve at least 300 Sq.kms (GHMC - 200 Sq.Km, 141
ULBs – 100 Sq.Kms) of cool roof area by the year 2028. This policy aims at
creating simple solutions that can be scaled up at the state level to bring down
the urban heat impact in the process.

3. Cool Roofs are Painted with solar reflective paint, covered in white tiles, or
with white membrane, cool roofs are an easy and cost–effective way to help fight
climate change by mitigating the urban heat island effect and reducing cooling
demand. A Cool roof takes in less heat from the sun than regular roofs. It stays
relatively cool in the sun by reflecting sunlight to (minimize solar absorption) and
emitting thermal radiation (to help dissipate solar heat gain). Cool Roofs reflect
around 80% of sunlight as compared with 20% from regular roofs. Thus buildings
with cool roofs stay significantly cooler.

4. Further, it is informed that “Telangana Cool Roof Policy” comes with effect
from 01.04.2023, for following category of buildings.

a. Mandatory:

b. Optional :

1. Buildings that have installed roof top solar systems, may also adopt cool
roofs for better thermal comfort.
2. Retrofitting of all non-residential buildings in next 3 years.
3. All residential buildings that have plot area of <600 Sq.yds also to adopt
cool roofing.

5. Outreach and Awareness Measures: The Nodal agency of the cool roof

following massive outreach and awareness building programs duly involving
RWAs, SHGs, SLF/ALFs, TLF/CLFs, passing resolution with NGOs, Elected Council

cost installation of cool roofs for building owners.

6. In TS-bPASS software application the condition has been incorporated that

“In respect of all Non residential buildings and residential buildings in plot of 500
sq mt/ 600 sq yards and above, the Applicant shall comply with the provision of
