You may want to define what 'our region' comprises - ie, GTHA for users that are out of province/country. 1st sentence after table - replace 'condo' with 'medium/high-rise buildings' (condo is not a built form but rather an ownership definition). Change following sentence to read, '...they are sometimes used as urban farms. In the most extreme examples...green roofs can include landscaped spaces over top of parking garages that support large trees.' Next sentence - Check wording of sentence and remove '8' at the end. It is not clear what this sentence is communicating. 1st bullet point - reword to read, 'a roof structure that is able to support the design load.' 2nd bullet point - reword to read, 'a waterproof membrane that will resist root penetration.' Planning considerations section - 1st sentence - add a comma after 'scenario'. Reword to read, 'direct stormwater capture benefit is limited to areas that are planted with vegetation.' 3rd line - last sentence - reword... the intent is not clear. Amenity section - 1st sentence - add hyphen between 'high' and 'rise' 2nd sentence - change 'by' to 'when' and reword sentence to read, 'when combined with rainwater harvesting for re-use in irrigation of the green roof.' 4th line - add, 'that is' prior to the word 'actually'. Biodiversity section - 1st sentence, delete 'are' and replace with 'can be'. Design for Maintenance section - 1st sentence, delete 'operational', since 'operation' is used later in the sentence. 2nd line - add comma after 'discovered'. 4th line - replace 'see' with 'ensure'. Design section - Roof subsection - 5th line - replace 'CGSB' with 'CGBS' and provide a definition - 'Canada Green Building Standard' as well as a link. 6th line - add comma after 'cases. Add comma after, scenarios'. Drainage layer section - 1st sentence - delete 'formed', replace with, 'that includes depressions'. 2nd line - replace 'increase the tortuosity' with 'decrease the efficiency of the flow path.' Planting medium section - Define 'FLL' and provide a reference or a link. Irrigation section - This section would benefit from a discussion regarding the implications of using non-potable water (recycled stormwater) for irrigation with respect to public health (non-contact) and MOE (now MECP) requirements related to human contact. Drip irrigation should be used when recycled stormwater is used for irrigation purposes in order to prevent human interaction with/consumption of non-potable irrigation water.More
