Cat6a is reasonably priced. But you can run 10Gb on cat5e if needed in future.
I’d probably run some internal fibre for networking servers etc.
Probably hardwire zigbee into all light switches and see if there is a way to have energy monitoring (normally WiFi) on ALL power sockets!
I'm confused. How much was your idle draw before in total?
