About 2 weeks ago, Tracy put Alex and me in charge of researching blinds and the price and quality that would be used in the future Teen Center. Our first place to research was in a shade shop in Berkeley. In order to go to the shop we had to take a bus, which we sat on forever to get to the shop, due to many stops. When arriving to the shop, we saw every type of blind that we could imagine. There were different types of materials, color and prices but the one that took our attention was the honeycomb shades with the top down/bottom up system. Based on what we liked and from other research that we did in the internet, we presented a powerpoint to the whole Teen Task Force including the prices and the details of each type of shades. After our presentation, we asked a few questions of our LEED Consultant, Laura Billings, because we are trying to have green and environmentally safe materials in our blinds in order to have better indoor air quality. Now we are going to order samples of blinds, discuss at our meeting about our options and make a final decision on which blinds are going to be in the Teen Center.
