Claim 19:
20. A method of installing the air conditioning assembly of claim 1 in a room to form an environmental chamber, comprising the steps of:
installing a suspended ceiling below a structural ceiling of the room to create a plenum space therebetween, said suspended ceiling being configured to cover a substantially horizontal plane of the environmental chamber while leaving a first perimeter gap adjacent to a wall of the environmental chamber, and a second perimeter gap adjacent to an opposing wall of the environmental chamber whereby the first perimeter gap and the second perimeter gap span substantially the entire edge of the suspended ceiling;
installing a substantially vertical wall to cover a vertical plane of the plenum space;
installing at least one fan within the substantially vertical wall, said at least one fan being configured to draw air from the environmental chamber and into the plenum space through the first perimeter gap, and to blow air from the plenum space and into the environmental chamber through the second perimeter gap; and,
installing at least one air conditioner in fluid communication with the at least one fan, configured to condition the air flow passing through said at least one fan;
wherein at least one air conditioner comprises an altitude simulator and, in use, the air conditioning assembly is configured to create substantially laminar air flow throughout the environmental chamber.
