Hello,
We are working on a project which is an industrial plant, the building will be mechanically ventilated. The manufacturing area is about 142,800 sf and this space will only have about 60 workers and it counts with 25 ceiling exhaust fans in the area, my question is, do we have to install one airflow measurement device for each one of the ceiling fans even though it is an open floor plant? or can we install only in half of them and connect the devices to the central system that can control all the ceiling fans and activate them if necessary?
Thank you in advance.
Regards!

I´m sorry, i meant supply filtered fans, no exhaust fans.

Since they are constant volume you are allowed to monitor fan status only.

Thank you Andrew, we will apply considering only the fan status monitoring.
