I'm not sure where this would be appropriate. The project is a LEED CI being built into a LEED Core and Shell project. The windows are 128" wide and the only blinds we can find that fit that width without being seamed contain some PVC content. (our experience with seaming blinds has not been exemplary). In this instance, does this address: Materials and Resources? Controllability of environment? daylighting and views? or does it matter at all?

Anne, that depends on which credits you're going for. Blinds could have an impact on some of those credits, or none at all if you're not going after them.I would tend to think about it in terms of which credits I'm pursuing, and then think about opportunities and obstacles to those credits to blinds and many other things.Does that make sense—or not much help?

no, I had the same thoughts. I'll have to converse with the designer on the project to see the intent. At the moment, I'm thinking that the blind content won't make much difference.
thank you.
