What drives the decision

Guest expectations for daylight and view can limit how reflective or dark a product should be.

What changes the budget

Room-by-room phasing can reduce lost inventory but increase coordination.

Operations and lifecycle

Future room renovation should include film removal/replacement planning.

Planning boundary

Mock-ups help avoid façade appearance problems after full installation.

Educational planning only. Actual construction, code compliance, regulated systems, hazardous materials and safety-critical work require qualified professionals and current local requirements.
