Challenges & solutions

Customer challenges & requirements

"Our executive office has large glass panels for an open feel, but the problem was that the sun made it very hot and the air conditioning had to work hard, and at times leadership needed to hold confidential discussions immediately without going to draw a curtain. We wanted a technology that both cuts heat and controls privacy in a professional way."

— Facilities Manager · NIST
Managing heat from the sun
The building-side executive office trapped heat all day, making the AC work hard and driving up the electricity bill.
A need for on-demand privacy
The executive had to discuss confidential matters immediately, without getting up to draw a curtain each time.
Maintaining an international-school image
The material had to look modern, in line with world-class international-school standards.
Glare from large building-side glass
Excessive glare at certain times disturbed the executive's work and meetings.

The solution we proposed for this project

Cut heat into the executive office by 40-55%
Outdoor + Aquaris™ blocks 99.99% of IR/UV, dropping room temperature by 10-15°C so the AC works less.
Switch to opaque instantly for confidential meetings
NIST executives switch modes in a fraction of a second from their seat, without getting up to draw a curtain.
An international-school-standard image
A modern design reflecting a leading international school's commitment to quality, in line with global standards.
Reduce glare from building-side glass
Opaque mode reduces reflected glare during sunny periods, protecting the eyes of executives and meeting attendees.
Cut per-term curtain-cleaning costs
No taking down, washing, and rehanging like curtains, reducing the school housekeeping burden and annual laundry costs.
Easy for staff at every level to use
One button switches clear-to-opaque instantly, no training needed — ideal for a school with rotating personnel.

Review from a real customer

"After installation, the executive office cools down noticeably faster and the AC doesn't work as hard, because much of the sun that used to come in is now blocked. When the executive needs to discuss confidential matters, they can press the glass to opaque instantly without getting up to draw a curtain. Overall it looks far more refined, befitting an international school."

— Facilities Manager · NIST (Jul 2025)

NIST elevated its international-school executive office to be cool and comfortable, keep privacy in every meeting, and reflect international-school standards with real distinction!

Frequently asked questions

About installing Smart Film

Why is smart film better than curtains for an international-school executive office?
InHouse Smart Film switches clear-to-opaque in 0.1 seconds for confidential meetings without getting up to draw a curtain. Its smooth surface doesn't trap dust and mites like curtains, ideal for a school that prioritizes the hygiene of staff and students. The executive office looks modern and professional, reflecting an international school that cares about global standards.

Is opaque-default or clear-default smart film better for an international-school executive office?
InHouse offers two smart film types for an executive office: • PDLC (opaque by default, clear when powered) — ideal for a room where confidentiality is the default, protecting school documents and data at all times. • PNLC Reverse Mode (clear by default, opaque when powered) — ideal for an open-door culture where staff can normally see the executive at work, turning opaque only for confidential appointments. Most international schools choose PNLC because it supports an open culture and builds trust in an educational organization.

How easy is smart film for school housekeeping to maintain versus washing curtains each term?
Housekeeping can wipe the smart film with a feather duster or regular alcohol — no taking down, washing, and rehanging like curtains every term, clearly reducing the housekeeping burden and the school's laundry costs. Never use glass cleaner, as the chemicals can degrade the film; cared for correctly, the smart film keeps its quality throughout its 12+ years.

For a building-side school executive office in the sun all day, how much can smart film reduce temperature and AC costs?
InHouse Outdoor + Aquaris™ cuts heat into the room from the sun by 40-55%, dropping room temperature by 10-15°C versus ordinary clear glass and cutting AC electricity costs by 25-40%. Ideal for a school whose utility budget is reviewed by the board — it lets the school reinvest the savings into teaching and learning instead.

Can the executive change mode from their seat during a confidential meeting without getting up to draw a curtain?
Yes. InHouse smart film is controlled via portable remote, wall switch, Thai voice command, or a Calendar Auto-Tint link that changes mode automatically for scheduled appointments. The executive controls it from their seat without breaking the meeting's rhythm, adding professionalism when hosting international guests or visiting parents.

Compared with washing curtains, how many years until smart film in a school executive office pays for itself?
InHouse Indoor Series lasts 12+ years; Outdoor + Aquaris™ lasts +80% versus typical PDLC (usually 8-12 years). Cutting AC costs plus eliminating per-term curtain washing means it pays back fast within 3-5 years — ideal for a school that uses its executive office continuously for years and wants long-term quality.
