- ** While Semi-intensive, Intensive, and Hybrid (blue-green) vegetated roof systems are permitted only on protected membrane roofs (also called "inverted roof assemblies"; see the 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 (these systems are accepted by the RGC and listed in this table but are non-conforming insofar as the Standard permits). Consult the system manufacturer for a re-design of the system on a PMRA, or submit a request for a written Variance to permit the system on a conventionally insulated roof assembly following the requirements in Article 1.1.3.6..
- † Vegetated roof systems can be divided into three classic types: Extensive, Semi-intensive, and Intensive. Added to this are blue-green roofs, also referred to as "hybrid systems." Refer to the Notes to the Notes to the Standard for Vegetated Roofs for an expanded treatment on the three principal types. To learn more about RGC requirements for hybrid systems, see Sentences 1.1.3.2.(6) through (8) in the "RGC Standard for Vegetated Roofs".
- ‡ Minimum system and growing media depths may vary. For example, some manufacturers produce retention/detention mats in various thicknesses, to accommodate varying hydrological requirements. This may affect the minimum thickness of a system. Similarly, manufacturers may specify different minimum growing media depths depending on how the system will be used (i.e., deeper media if an intensive system is to be cultivated for rooftop agriculture). Always refer to the system page for more information.
