Not really. Your best bet is to have your screens wired as security screens.
Either being cut or removed activates the alarm and since casement windows
have interior screens, they will last along time, since they are not in the
weather. Actually a better choice for security than venting windows and you
will gain protection from anyone coming through the glass. You don't have to
do all of them, but a couple for cross ventilation is nice.
