Quick Answer · What Does a Control Room Use?

The standard config is PDLC, opaque by default installed on Smart Glass Laminated with 30–35 dB sound dampening. The glass stays frosted opaque all day and clears only during guest tours, with integration to access control (badge scan). Smart Glass is 14,500–22,500 THB/sqm, so a 100 sqm control room totals about 2–3 million THB.

3 Core Rooms · Enterprise Confidential

1. Operations Center · NOC · SOC

Smart Glass Laminated PDLC · 30–35 dB dampening

A Network Operations Center (NOC) and Security Operations Center (SOC) for a telco · bank · or cloud provider have 8–20 wall monitors showing real-time system status that must not be seen from outside, so they use Smart Glass Laminated — opaque by default and clear only during an executive tour or media visit · integrated with → Smart Glass STC 30–35 dB

Budget: 30–50 sqm × 19,500 THB ≈ 585,000–975,000 THB

2. Wall Room · Command Center

Smart Glass Laminated · large panes

A command center for a city hall · crisis management · military unit uses a large 5–10 meter wall display, so the glass wall must dampen sound and keep privacy at once, with a verified case at Bangkok City Hall using large Smart Glass Laminated on the command-center wall · see cases CP ALL Wall Room and CPF Data Center

Budget: large panes 50–100 sqm × 19,500 THB ≈ 975K–1.95M THB

3. Server Room · Data Center

Smart Film + access integration

A server room or data center has front glass to view the server racks, with a default state that's opaque for privacy and clears only when a technician enters via badge-scan auto-clear. It also cuts radiant heat from outside light falling on the front glass, adding a layer of HVAC efficiency.

Budget: 15–25 sqm × 11,000 THB ≈ 165,000–275,000 THB

Access Control Integration · Badge Scan = Auto Clear

The use case data centers and NOCs reach for most is having the glass switch state automatically when a badge scans through access control · letting sysadmins enter and exit conveniently while the server-rack privacy returns to opaque the moment they leave.

  • Technician scans badge to enter · glass clears automatically (confirms presence)
  • Technician leaves the room · glass frosts opaque instantly
  • Security camera + video log align with door-open events
  • Integrates with HID, Lenel, Honeywell Pro-Watch, Software House · every protocol

Frequently Asked Questions · Control Room

Should a NOC use Smart Film or Smart Glass?

It depends on the room's requirements · if you need sound dampening (operator voice privacy) plus safety glass, we recommend Smart Glass Laminated or IGU · if the budget is tight, or you're retrofitting an existing NOC, we recommend Smart Film over the existing glass · Tier-1 enterprises like banks and telcos mostly use Smart Glass IGU as standard.

Can Smart Film really cut a server room's heat load?

Partially · frosted glass helps cut radiant heat from outside light falling on the front glass · but the server's main heat load comes mostly from the servers themselves (CPUs) · so Smart Film adds a small boost to HVAC efficiency, not the primary heat reduction.

Can it integrate with access control (HID, Lenel)?

Yes · InHouse spec integration is free for enterprise projects · integrating with HID · Lenel · Honeywell Pro-Watch · Software House CCTV · Genetec · Milestone XProtect via BMS or API · glass auto-clears on badge scan and auto-tints when the technician leaves the room.

What's the budget for a Tier-1 bank/telco NOC?

NOC 100 sqm + wall display room 50 sqm + server room 25 sqm = 175 sqm × Smart Glass IGU 22,500 THB/sqm ≈ 3.9 million THB · verified cases at Tier-1 telcos and banks in Thailand · price includes access control integration.

Can it be used in a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility)?

Yes, but it needs a specific spec · a SCIF has strict TEMPEST and EMI-shielding requirements · InHouse can spec custom for government or military projects · please consult a dedicated engineer for classified deployments.

Do UN ESCAP / international organizations use it?

Yes · InHouse delivered Smart Film at UN ESCAP Bangkok, meeting international-body requirements · cases in the same group include the Bank of Thailand · Bangkok City Hall · Royal Hospital · see more → Mega Projects Portfolio

Can an investment-bank trading floor use it?

Yes · investment-bank trading floors favor Smart Glass Laminated to partition the trader zone · dampening 30–35 dB · going opaque during confidential trades and clear for briefing meetings · with several cases in Thailand's banking sector.

If there's an adjacent executive meeting room, should it use the same spec?

We recommend the same Smart Glass Laminated grade so privacy and acoustics are standard across the floor · a CEO/executive office usually adds Calendar Integration and a one-way mirror option · read the spec → Smart Film for Executive Offices
