New Delhi, July 15 (Inditop.com) The Delhi government will promote energy efficient buildings with white roof and CFL bulbs.

Starting from its secretariat, the Delhi government will undertake a slew of measures to conserve power in buildings under its jurisdiction.

The plan to build what it called “cool roofs” painted white was finalised at a meeting between Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and officials of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), an official spokesperson said.

“White roof may result in a reduction in roof temperature. This will help in saving electricity as cool roofs will bring down the maximum temperature,” the official added.
