| − | ;'''Vegetated Roof System Manufacturer''': [https://liveroof.com/ '''LiveRoof LLC''']
| |
| − | ;Accepted for the ''RoofStar Guarantee Program'': January 20, 2026
| |
| − | ;Accepted for application in: Vegetated Roof Systems
| |
| − | ;Acceptance Criteria: Refer to the [[VRA Standard | RGC Standard for Vegetated Roofs]]
| |
| − | ;System Summary: The '''Standard System''' is the workhorse, used on 80% or more of LiveRoof projects. At 4.25 inches of soil, it is the popular choice for most new construction projects and many retrofits. With saturated weight of 27-29 lbs/sq ft, it is the perfect convergence of functional merits, cost and versatility.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :LiveRoof's '''Standard System''' offers better storm water management over the LiveRoof Lite system and may also provide comparably higher energy savings — even more if irrigated during the warm season. This system is commonly used to meet green space requirements, provides modest biodiversity, supporting pollinators such as butterflies and honeybees, and will grow a palette of beautiful low maintenance plants—broad enough for both simple and relatively intricate designs. On top of this, the '''Standard System''' can seamlessly transition to the Deep and Maxx Systems without need for edging in between.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :The type of plants used in the '''Standard System''' include a full array of low to tall growing sedums—from fine to very coarse-textured, green, yellow, blue, maroon and multi-colored. Flowers range from white, yellow, pink or purple. Alliums of all sizes are compatible and with regular irrigation a few a low-growing grasses such as little bluestem or prairie dropseed are possible, as are a few broad leaved non-succulent perennials.

| − | ;<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.].

Consult with the ''vegetated roof system manufacturer'' for options and saturated system weight.
