But it also draws attention as a rule about the color of the roof above all else. In fact, the city prefers new house constructions to have white or light colored roofs “where possible”. This makes it possible to better reflect sunlight, thus controlling the heat of the building. Air conditioning can be used sparingly, PFM TV explains.
In addition, the text provides for planting several trees, which will bring more freshness in the event of extreme heat, with temperatures rising above 50 degrees this summer. The municipality expects these new rules to initially apply to an environment that can accommodate 9,000 new homes.
