At low levels, Embraer's E-jets have 'Green Dots' at minimum drag speed. On approach, Vapp is typically very similar to Green Dot and Vref is normally five knots or so less. Also, should you ever find yourself in a position where you just have to land NOW, then treat Green Dot as Vref and fly it in.
