They make probally manufacture the best roof you can buy. The roof in the pic needs to torn off and replaced with this. (my .02)

Energy, mod bit isn't EPDM isn't TPO isn't chlorosulfonated polyethylene, etc.....
They all have specific use(s) and performance characteristics. IMO, they are not interchangable. One should review performance needs, and apply the appropriate material.
Probally, anyway..........

Just doing some garbage-in-garbage-out cleanup. Sometimes it can help with one's professional growth.
Allow me to offer another excerpt from Kilpatrick's Fine Print.
Setup: The man described below was in the roofing business; he spoke and wrote crudely and incorrectly. The italicized text below is from Kilpatrick's book.
One day, his daughter, a schoolteacher, reproached him.
"Daddy," she said lovingly, "you really must try to use good grammar."
"Honey," said he, "good grammar never made me no dollars."
Perhaps so, but "bad grammar" cost the fellow in all kinds of ways, in the amusement of his better-educated associates and in the impression he made upon others. What we provisionally call "good grammar" is among the hallmarks that identify a civilized society. Sterling silver is better than tinware. To write at the level of a plastic fork amounts to communication of a sort, but it is not the kind of writing that appeals to cultivated readers.
My interpretation of the above:
If one wants to be perceived as knowledgeable, he has to first become knowledgeable enough to make a good impression on educated folk-- he must at least speak and write at the level of a competent high-school graduate.
HI work isn't a handyman job (or shouldn't be); it's a profession that requires the HI to create reports that should be written carefully and correctly. Similarly, when one communicates with one's peers electronically, he has a duty to do a decent job of it. Otherwise, he's just spewing words that don't make sense.
Nothing personal; it's just that for HIs to give the impression of professionals, they can't write at the plastic fork level.

I understand, But I'm talking about a flat roof. If I was to write up a report, I would invest a bit more time. I will take the high road and thank you for the advice. It is appreciated.

I know what you mean about the definition, but it's not something that can be clearly defined. Too many variables.
Sorry about my english! I'm french. You're rignt about the bad wormanship. À slop should always run to the drain ! Period. About the the ponding, I think it's best to evaluate the situation befor jumping to the chart or rule of thumb. 3/4 on an inche means 4.0967 pound per square feet, add a dynamic force to it and worst case senario you're up to 6 or 7 pound it represent lest than 20% the total calculation load for your roof . if the roof is well design this accumulation is taking into account. See insted the deept of the roof joist and see if it can take the load.

I forgot to post again, after the buyer's own roofing expert took a look at it. His roofer said that overall it was fine, and just needed a few repairs (penertrations). Oh well, I tried.
Would you call this ponding? It is across the yard from that big foreclosure the other day (forgot to post it 'til now)

I wanted to take my ladder over there, just to see what was wrong (and to notify someone). I ended up forgetting about it....
