Sloped Green Roofs

Hello everybody, as I already know EnergyPlus' Input Output Reference says that the EcoRoofModel "is not recommended for high-sloped exterior surfaces (e.g., walls)" (p.235). But my question is does the software consider the roof pitch at all or not? If so, then probably just about geometry. But unfortunately I didn't find any information about this so far.

Thanks for help and hints!
