About These Protocols
The *Green Roof Integration Protocols™* document defines what “green-ready roofing” means in practice: a roof system that manages heat and moisture predictably, supports long service life, and is evaluated through clear, observable criteria rather than marketing labels.
Roofs that last longer and stay dry reduce waste and support stable building performance.
What This Standard Covers
These protocols address the highest-impact, measurable aspects of roofing performance that influence sustainability outcomes:
- Ventilation balance (intake to exhaust)
- Ridge vent performance principles
- Moisture control and condensation indicators
- Detailing and transitions that affect performance
- Documentation and honest verification constraints
- Maintenance and repair-first decision frameworks

Application and Next Steps
These protocols complement code-indexed compliance frameworks (residential IRC, commercial IBC) and provide a performance foundation for verification, reporting, and defensible evaluation.
