NC-v4 MRc2:Building product disclosure and optimization - environmental product declarations

I'm working on an office project, and there's an atrium. We want to use a translucent and permeable tensioning fabric on the roof of this atrium. Could this structure be considered a shade?

Hi all, We intend to apply for a LEED EBOM cert for a multi-tenant building built in the 1910s. The building was renovated and earned its Energy Star Score back in 2004.
