1) Place thermometer perpendicular to the floor and against the wall.

2) Make a mark on the wall at the top of the thermometer.

3) Shift thermometer up so bottom is at mark.

4) Repeat 2) and 3) until close to the ceiling.

5) Shift thermometer up until it touches ceiling and mark location of highest mark on thermometer to determine fraction of thermometer length for last segment.

This would give the height of the room in units of "thermometers". This is not a standard unit of measurement, but it is a measurement. If you desire a more standard unit like centimeters, then measure the length of the thermometer and multiply by height of the room in "thermometers". However, you didn't say whether you had a ruler for measuring the thermometer. As as alternative, you could look up the length of the thermometer in the catalog from which it was purchased.
