;<sup>†</sup>Guarantor's Notes: Systems labeled "Inverted" are designed for a ''protected membrane roof assembly'', also known as an inverted ''roof assembly''.

:While ''Semi-intensive'' and ''Intensive vegetated roof systems'' are limited to only ''protected membrane roofs'' (See the [https://rpm.rcabc.org/index.php?title=VRA_Standard#1.1.3.2._Permitted_Vegetated_Roof_Systems Sentence 1.1.3.2.(5)] in the "RGC Standard for Vegetated Roofs"), some vegetated roof system manufacturers offer their systems for ''conventionally insulated roofs''. To request a written Variance to the published limitation, follow the requirements in [https://rpm.rcabc.org/index.php?title=VRA_Standard#1.1.3.6._Variances Article 1.1.3.6.].

</div>
<div class="col-md-6">

;<sup>*</sup>Conditions and Limitations: Note that system thickness is dependent upon the selection of components, which is determined (in part) by design parameters, including hydrological requirements. Consult with the ''vegetated roof system manufacturer'' for options and saturated system weight.

:Also note that vegetation coverage under the '''''RoofStar Vegetated Roof Guarantee''''' applies only to ''extensive systems'' planted with mats or trays - see [https://rpm.rcabc.org/index.php?title=Guarantee Part 3] of Division A for more about coverage.
