With 2 conditions; a) you would have to do it before closing up the walls and b) give up on radio.

Also, expect to have very strange windows. Of course, if visible light can pass through, that might be considered a flaw in your faraday cage so YMMV.

Personally, I'd like it if my devices knew what room I was in. Back in 2013, I'd started working on a home automation project with that goal in mind, but then all these closed source devices came out that were incredibly cheap and convenient and I haven't revisited the idea since.

I do look back with a bit of regret that more hasn't been done to push for reverse engineering these devices or somehow encouraging companies to open source their routers to support third-party operating systems, etc. We take for granted that we've open source smartphones and standard PC specifications when we don't yet have a standard that could let me run YouTube TV on my Echo Show 8, for example, or add lossless FLAC playback to my smart speaker...

I imagine window screen mesh connected electrically to the rest of your grid should work sufficiently (like the mesh on the microwave window)

I have screens on my windows so I can have them open yet not have bugs wandering in and out - just pick wire mesh and ground it. Done!

You could just put antennae outside the walls like many houses/cars do.
