Green roofs in ecotect?

How would you get Ecotect to calculate a green roof? Would you need to work out the R-values of the green roof and model a generic object and give it a custom material with said value?
I’m new to Ecotect so sorry if this has been covered.

The only resource I could find for you was this paper: https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/9/4/640/htm.
