1. A kit, comprising:
a plurality of modular units coupleable to one another to form a plurality of walls that collectively define a chamber sized to receive an object, the plurality of walls including a top wall, a back wall, and a set of side walls, the plurality of modular units including:
a first set of modular units coupleable to each other to form a first side wall from the set of side walls, a first modular unit of the first set of modular units being stacked on a second modular unit of the first set of modular units when the first set of modular units are coupled to each other such that the first side wall has a height that is greater than one modular unit from the first set of modular units;
a second set of modular units coupleable to each other to form a second side wall from the set of side walls, a first modular unit of the second set of modular units being stacked on a second modular unit of the second set of modular units when the second set of modular units are coupled to each other such that the second side wall has a height that is greater than one modular unit from the second set of modular units; and
a third set of modular units coupleable to each other to form at least one of the top wall or the back wall, a first modular unit of the third set of modular units being stacked on a second modular unit of the third set of modular units when the third set of modular units are coupled to each other such that the third side wall has a height that is greater than one modular unit from the third set of modular units; and
a plurality of energy sources including at least one energy source disposed on each modular unit from the plurality of modular units, a set of energy sources from the plurality of energy sources configured to provide energy having an intensity configured to disinfect a surface of the object when the object has been received within the chamber.
