Sure, make a box that sends a control signal to a relay that switches off the AC once it hears the SMTPE. This should be a fairly basic project for anyone who knows about building electronics.
One room studios are nice, I think they can give more focus to a session when everyone has to keep quiet and concentrate on the takes rather than goof about all day. It's also nice to be able to change mic positions ect without going thru all those doors!
Downside is you don't REALLY want to be recording a death metal band in the same room all day. You also have to watch the level in your cans tracking all day like that.
Idealy, I would build at least one booth in one corner of the room, big enough for a drumkit (5 piece + mics and cymbals...) and make sure it was properly treated to remove ALL the low modes.
Tracking in the control room is cool if you are the artist, or it's a private studio.
