Careful room design and regulation of temperature/humidity are two major considerations that separate pro studios from typical rooms. But, then again, how many people can exactly reproduce the room environment of a mastering engineer? I'll bet the engineer himself would have a tough time measuring up to the standard mentioned in the paper:
