Looking for ideas/best practices/pitfalls on putting contact sensors on 130 operable windows in a commercial building. Picture an "L" shaped building, 3 floors, 33K sq feet per floor. Each window is 2'x2'. Aluminum store front with a crank handle. Each floor has 2 IDF or Network Closets.
The owner is a fresh air nut. Enough said.
I assume that hardwire is preferred method, drop a zone expander in each IDF???
For aesthetics they would like concealed sensors - any recommendations for storefront aluminum?
Thanks in advance.
