The regulation has been brought for the first time with an aim to cut household carbon emissions.
According to the Japanese municipality, around 50 major builders need to equip homes of up to 2,000sqm with renewable energy power sources, mainly solar panels, a report mentioned.
It has been reported that the Tokyo Metropolitan authority aims to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
