Which room though?
what, you never heard of the room temperature room?
It’s a room made from platinum-iridium, and kept in a triple-locked vault at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in France.
unfortunately, opening the door changes the temperature, so in practice instruments are calibrated from copies of the room built at other metrology institutions around the world.
