EQc4.5 is focused on Systems Furniture and Seating. Seating is just what is sounds like, but Systems Furniture is defined as, "Systems furniture is defined as either a panel-based workstation comprised of modular interconnecting panels, hang-on components and
drawer/filing components, or a freestanding grouping of furniture items and their components that have been designed to work in concert.
Furniture other than systems furniture and task and guest chairs used with systems furniture is defined as occasional furniture and is excluded
from the credit requirements." So your blinds/screens would have to be sold as part of the panel-based work stations that you are using to be considered within EQc4.5. As an example if you are using some of the full-length movable wall systems then those would not be considered under EQc4.5. They may be considered under EQc4.6 as a wall system, but not as system furniture.
