German term or phrase: innerhalb
This is a tricky one: Um dem zu begegnen, ist es ferner bekannt, innerhalb (inside/within) des klimatisierten Raumes, d.h. innerhalb (on the in-side?) des Schiebetors, einen Streifenvorhang, en Pendel- oder ein Falttor als Hilfsverschluß anzuordnen.

Thanks very much!

The difference with Cilian is that \"inside the gate\" could be construed as meaning \"in the gate.\"

Explanation:
Ich sehe dies als einzige korrekte Möglichkeit. Inside würde bedeuten, im Tor selbst, gemeint ist aber vor dem Tor, aber auf der Innenseite.
Im übrigen ist der Satz bestimmt nicht von einem Deutschen verfasst, saumäßiges Deutsch.

  -> Ja, aber was soll das ist es ferner bekannt, ergibt überhaupt keinen Sinn. Kann eigentlich nicht von einem Deutschen sein.
neutral  Trudy Peters: the "d.h." makes it clear that they don't mean inside of the door itself

  -> richtig, deshalb darf man es auch nicht so übersetzen.
neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: strictly speaking, your suggestion could be understood as meaning "the Vorhang is attached to or hanging from the inside of the gate" :-)

Explanation:
To counteract the aforementioned, it has also been known to install as an auxiliary closure within the airconditioned room, i.e. on the sliding door's inside, either a strip curtain, a swing door or trapdoor

neutral  Karlo Heppner: Ich habe bei Google einen einzigen Eintrag mit diesem Satz gefunden. Ist das typisch? Ungeachtet dessen halte ich es für verfehltes Deutsch. Auch anzuordnen anstelle von anzubringen.

  -> Try "es ist ferner bekannt." I see nothing wrong with the German here.
