What This Standard Covers
- Motorized shading pocket dimensions by system type, fabric thickness, and projection depth
- Motor wiring topology from power supply to individual shade motors across zones
- Exterior sensor network architecture for sun tracking, wind, and precipitation inputs
- Conduit and penetration waterproofing requirements at all envelope penetrations
- Integration protocol for connection to home automation, lighting, and HVAC systems
- Commissioning sequence for shading groups, scenes, and weather-triggered automation
Who It Is For
- AV and automation integrators installing motorized shading systems on Restrepo projects
- General contractors managing framing and window rough-in for shading infrastructure
- Architects writing motorized shading and facade automation into construction documents
- Interior designers coordinating shade selection with pocket dimensions and motor specifications
When To Use It
- During design development to confirm pocket and frame dimensions before drawings are issued
- At pre-construction meetings to align framing, window, and low-voltage trades
- Before window frame installation to verify conduit sleeves and sensor positions
- At commissioning to configure scene logic, weather inputs, and home automation integration

Field Notes
Building envelope automation involves more trades than almost any other scope on a luxury project. The framer, the window contractor, the electrician, and the AV integrator all have decisions that affect the final result. This standard defines who is responsible for what and when.
Motorized shading is one of the first things a client notices and one of the last things to be fully commissioned. Getting the infrastructure right throughout the build is what makes the commissioning phase straightforward rather than a series of workarounds.
