Anyone have input on the best material to use on a flat roof? I am working on a new house that will have a 3/12 metal roof over half of it and a flat (1/4 in/ft) roof over the other half (about 500 sq ft). We are interested in getting the house “green certified” and I am interested in what people consider the best material to use both from a waterproofing standpoint and a green standpoint. PVC and EPDM are the two materials that have been suggested.

Sorry...wasn't sure how much attention the green thread gets. Won't do it again.
You don't have to be sorry. Since that thread is active and will answer your question, we can just use this thread for fodder.
