1. An air management system comprising:
(a) a plurality of distance separated air outflow vents or apertures located within a common indoor room or space, wherein the plurality of air outflow vents or apertures direct airflow from an airflow source in a downwardly direction, the plurality of air outflow vents or apertures creating a plurality of downwardly blowing air curtains; and
(b) a plurality of air suction intakes for intaking or suctioning some air from the air curtains into the plurality of air suction intakes, wherein the plurality of air suction intakes are disposed in the common indoor room or space, wherein the plurality of downwardly blowing air suction intakes are located below the plurality of air outflow vents,
(c) wherein the plurality of air outflow vents or apertures and the plurality of air suction intakes are vertically offset from each other such that the plurality of air outflow vents are not located directly above the plurality of air suction intakes,
(d) wherein the plurality of downwardly blowing air curtains are blowing downwardly simultaneously; and
(e) wherein the plurality of downwardly blowing are curtains are distance separated when first formed by the plurality of distance separated air outflow vents or apertures.
