| contents | Temperature fluctuations over long time scales ($\gtrsim 1\,\mathrm{h}$) are an insidious problem for precision measurements. In optical laboratories, the primary effect of temperature fluctuations is drifts in optical circuits over spatial scales of a few meters and temporal scales extending beyond a few minutes. We present a lab-scale environment temperature control system approaching $10\, \mathrm{mK}$-level temperature instability across a lab for integration times above an hour and extending to a few days. This is achieved by passive isolation of the laboratory space from the building walls using a circulating air gap and an active control system feeding back to heating coils at the outlet of the laboratory HVAC unit. The latter achieves 20 dB suppression of temperature fluctuations across the lab, approaching the limit set by statistical coherence of the temperature field. |
