Spanish term or phrase: Techumbre de dos aguas
The sentence reads:
"Las techumbres deberán ser de dos o más aguas evitando los techos horizontales; la circulaciones pueden ser horizontales".
Dos o más aguas? Circulaciones?
Not a clue.

Explanation:

That term "agua" in this context means "where the water runs down." A multiple-slanted roof as opposed to a flat one. Circulaciones, by context, is reffering to where the water circulates, or drains down from the roof.
