I will be installing 2 twin awning windows in high shed dormers for a client and they would like to be able to open them from below with a remote or wall mounted button/switch. The windows will be aluminum clad Peachtree and they don’t offer this kind of mechanism. Does anyone? Is there an after market alternative? I know Velux makes electrical venting skylights/roof windows but I don’t believe would serve our purpose. If I invented an aftermarket version that fit most brands of windows could I get rich like a rock star?

I'd check to see if you can adapt Andersen's power operator-is it too late to use their casements and make it easy?
